Fort Wayne families have a new reason to gather this fall. From October 16 through October 18, the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum will host the traveling attraction Jurassic Quest, featuring three distinct prehistoric exhibits under a single admission.
Three Exhibits, One Admission
Jurassic Quest showcases life‑size animatronic dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Visitors can explore real fossils, watch live dinosaur shows, meet baby dinosaurs, participate in fossil digs, ride dinosaur‑themed attractions and enjoy a host of interactive activities.
Ancient Oceans turns the focus to prehistoric marine life. The exhibit highlights the fearsome Megalodon and other ancient marine reptiles, complemented by fossils and educational displays that illustrate how ancient oceans once thrived.
Frozen Frontier makes its Indiana debut, bringing the Ice Age to life. Guests will encounter woolly mammoths, saber‑toothed cats, dire wolves, giant ground sloths, Irish elk and other iconic Ice Age animals.
Family‑Friendly Features
Admission grants access to all three exhibits, live shows, fossil digs, rides, inflatables, crafts and a variety of educational activities designed to spark curiosity in children and adults alike. A special Sensory & Mobility Friendly Session will be offered on Saturday morning, providing reduced lighting and sound, smaller crowds and additional staff support for guests with sensory sensitivities or mobility needs.
Practical Details
The event will be held at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, located at 4000 Parnell Avenue in Fort Wayne. Tickets, event times and additional information are available through the official Jurassic Quest website.
