Hawai‘i Convention Center goes Jurassic this weekend

More than 50 life-sized dinosaurs will take over Hawai‘i Convention Center this weekend in Jurassic Tour, an event packed with hands-on exhibits and educational activities designed to engage the whole family.

Go back in time to the Jurassic, Triassic and Cretaceous periods to discover — and interact with! — dozens of realistic dinosaurs.

In addition to exploring the massive display, ride a baby dinosaur, or for the more courageous types, a 12-foot animatronic Tyrannosaurus rex or triceratops.

Meet Tracey, a friendly T-rex who will walk around the exhibit once every three hours to greet guests and play with children.

There will be a fossil dig where aspiring paleontologists can dig up bones, a virtual reality zone, Jurassic-themed bounce area with inflatable bounce houses and a jungle wall to scale.

Visitors can also test their skills at basketball and darts, have their face painted and more.
