CINCINNATI — Get ready to walk with the raptors when a popular dinosaur event comes to town.

Jurassic Quest will be at the Duke Energy Convention Center for a three-day event in April.

Some activities families can enjoy at the three-day event include:

  • Lifelike and accurate herd of dinosaurs
  • Live shows
  • Rideable dinosaurs
  • Art and science activities, including a fossil dig
  • T-Rex teeth, triceratops horn and dino skull on display at the fossil exhibit
  • Play area for young children — "Tricera-tots"
  • Inflatables and bounce houses
  • Face painting

In addition, this year, Jurassic Quest will have a new attraction — "Raptor Run" and "Rope-a-Raptor" where kids can race the Utahraptors and lasso dinosaurs.
Visitors can also meet the interactive baby dinosaurs Camme the Camarasaurus, Tyson the T-Rex and Trixie the Triceratops.

Jurassic Quest said they work with paleontologists to make sure the dinosaurs are as accurate and realistic as possible, even down to the skin, teeth size and movements.

The event will run from April 12-14.
