Kiddos channel their inner paleontologist with the interactive — and scientifically accurate — traveling Jurassic Quest exhibit at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. The prehistoric paradise animates the nation’s largest herd of photorealistic dinosaurs, offering close-up experiences with the incredible Cretaceous creatures that once ruled Earth. Educational opportunities for all ages include a giant fossil dig, a raucous raptor training and the chance to pet a baby Triceratops (or ride its life-size adult counterpart). Families can also build lasting memories at the concurrent Brick Fest Live, a Lego lover’s block party with a giant play area, derby races and hands-on build zones.
