HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Ever wish you could go back in time and see dinosaurs up close and personal (or preferably from a safe distance)? Well, you’ll get a chance soon to when a “one-of-a-kind” event comes to central Pennsylvania.

Jurassic Quest offers an immersive dinosaur experience where you get to see life-size dinosaurs, skulls and fossils and even meet baby dinosaurs.

Children can have fun in dinosaur-themed bounce houses or partake in crafts and create their own dinosaurs. There will also be an area for fossils to be dug up and uncovered.

Come meet the three little dinosaur babies, Cammie the Camarasaurus, Trixie the Triceratops and Tyson the T-rex, and their trainers during a show.

The Jurassic Quest event runs from Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 at the Farm Show Complex and tickets can be bought online . The Kids Ultimate Admission tickets for those ages 2-10 cost $36 each, while the standard admission for kids and adults costs $22.

Officials offer tips for those who want to attend:

• You can bring strollers and wagons
• Make sure to bring your camera
• Bring socks for kids as they are required for inflatables
• The experience is a self-guided one. It takes between one to two hours to experience everything
• Any questions about dinosaurs before you come can be directed to Park Ranger Marty by texting 844-DINO-411 or 844-346-6411.
