Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru dinosaur experience to land in Columbus

Having risen from millions of years of extinction, more than 70 photorealistic dinosaurs will be on display at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair from June 4-13. 

After selling out venues across the country, the Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru experience promises to transform the fairground’s outdoor parking area at 717 E. 17th Ave. to the the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods.
