Jurassic Quest brings life-sized dinosaurs to Arvest Convention Center this weekend

The traveling dinosaur experience runs Friday–Sunday at the Pepsi Exhibit Hall — life-sized animatronics, fossil digs, and Saturday sensory hours.

If the kids need a roar this weekend, the dinosaurs are downtown.

Jurassic Quest is at the Arvest Convention Center Pepsi Exhibit Hall, 100 Civic Center, through Sunday, Sept. 27. The official event page and a News On 6 write-up both list the run as Sept. 25–27, 2026. Hours on that Jurassic Quest page: Friday 1–6 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m.–8 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m.–5 p.m. News On 6 also notes Saturday sensory hours from 8–9 a.m.

The show bills itself as North America’s largest traveling dinosaur experience. The official page and News On 6 both call out life-sized animatronics — including a 60-foot Spinosaurus and an 80-foot Apatosaurus — plus fossil digs, dinosaur rides, and baby-dino meet-and-greets. News On 6 also flags newer sections: Ancient Oceans and Frozen Frontier.

Tickets are required for guests ages 2 and up; children under 2 are free, per Jurassic Quest. Buy through the official Tulsa event page — ticket tiers and what’s included (general vs. rides/inflatables) differ, so read the listing before you check out.

This is a weekend family tip, not a Best Of ranking. Confirm the Jurassic Quest page for hours and tickets before you go.
