Jurassic Quest

Jurassic Quest

Jurassic Quest is the world’s largest, most popular dino event with unique and exciting experiences for the whole family. Observe our herd of life-size dinosaurs including Apatosaurus, Spinosaurus and Trex!

There’s no better place to make pter-iffic memories playing with adorable baby Dinos, excavating fossils, or even training a raptor while surrounded by behemoths like sky-scraping Spinosaurus and, the King himself, Tyrannosaurus rex! Get your tickets for Des Moines now before they go EXTINCT!

Entry to Jurassic Quest is at your selected date/time. Entry windows are in place simply to control traffic flow and avoid capacity issues. You may enter at any time AFTER your entry window has started and there is no limit to how long you can stay once inside Jurassic Quest. Last entry allowed is one hour before the event closes each day.
