The Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru experience takes guests past more than 70 animatronic creatures from the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods.

The dinos are coming!

If you’ve ever longed to re-enact the drive-through scene from 1993’s “Jurassic Park,” here’s your chance. Of course, that’s without the live creatures breaking free and destroying everything.

Jurassic Quest Drive-Thru will make a stop in Western Pennsylvania from June 4-13 at The Pavilion at Star Lake in Burgettstown.

First designed as an interactive, walk-through display, the experience has been modified for the covid era.

During the hourlong drive through, a digital audio tour will explain the more than 70 true-size animatronic dinosaurs and marine creatures from the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods.

Guests will remain in their cars throughout the tour with limited contact, if any, with masked staff members who maintain safe social distances and follow all state and local guidelines regarding health and safety.

Souvenir packages and other add-ons are also available for an additional fee.

Hours for the show are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. June 4; 9 a.m.-9 p.m. June 5 and 12; 9 a.m.-8 p.m. June 6, 10, 11 and 13; 1-8 p.m. June 9. Admission is $49 per vehicle with eight people or less, $80 for passenger vehicles that seat nine to 15 people. Motorcycles and similar vehicles are not permitted. Police, military, medical personnel and first responders get 10% off with valid ID.

Tickets, which must be reserved in advance, can be purchased online through the event’s website at jurassicquest.com.
