Drive-thru dinosaur exhibit will roar in Mansfield this weekend

Dinosaurs are coming to Mansfield this weekend.

The Jurassic Wonder Dinosaur Drive Thru by Theodore Productions is an animatronic dinosaur event at which children and parents can see what a real dinosaur might have looked like if they were to see one close-up from the safety of their car.

The dinosaurs move and make sounds. Ted Hill, creator of the show, says it is designed for kids typically from ages 1-12. However, many adults enjoy it also. The dinosaurs were created by the same companies that build dinosaurs for movie studios. There is also a free educational app that describes each dinosaur that can be downloaded from the Jurassic Wonder website . You can play it from your cellphone or over the car speakers.

Dinosaur Drive Thru is schedule from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Richland County Fairgrounds. Tickets are sold online in time slot-windows to reduce long traffic lines. The cost for an entire family is $12.
