For one weekend only, families can access both experiences for the price of a single ticket, offering a massive fusion of prehistoric adventure and creative engineering.
165 Million Years Meets 1 Million Bricks
This combined event aims to turn the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center into a massive STEAM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) playground. By bringing together the animatronic realism of Jurassic Quest and the hands-on creativity of Brick Fest Live, organizers hope to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
“Dinosaurs and LEGOs are prime entry points to introduce children to so many aspects of science,” said David Taube, CEO of Family Quest Entertainment. “By bringing them together for the first time ever, we’re giving families a chance to dive into the world of dinosaurs, hands-on building, and creativity—all in one action-packed day.”
What to Expect: Jurassic Quest
Jurassic Quest transports guests through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods with life-size, paleontologist-approved animatronic dinosaurs. Highlights include:
- The Herd: Scientifically accurate dinosaurs that move and roar.
- The Largest Rideable Dinosaurs: Unique opportunities for kids to mount North America's biggest prehistoric replicas.
- Interactive Scavenger Hunt: Budding paleontologists can participate in "The Quest" to become Junior Park Rangers.
- Real Fossils: View authentic T-Rex teeth and Triceratops horns.
- Family Fun: Bounce houses, a "Triceratots" soft play area, and live dinosaur shows featuring baby dinos.
What to Expect: Brick Fest Live
On the other side of the hall, Brick Fest Live offers over a million building bricks and numerous interactive stations designed to spark imagination. Fans can enjoy:
- Guinness World Record Challenge: Help contribute to a massive floor mosaic.
- Giant Brick Pit: A play area filled with over 200,000 colorful bricks.
- Brick Derby Races: Build and race custom vehicles on 35-foot tracks.
- The Glow Zone: A specialized area for building with glow-in-the-dark bricks.
- Meet the Pros: Opportunities to meet LEGO Masters and see life-size models from around the world.
Accessibility and Special Discounts
The event is designed to be inclusive and affordable. Tickets include all-day admission to both shows with no time limit.
In a commitment to community support, the event offers exclusive discounts for first responders via GovX. Furthermore, on Saturday morning, a special "Lights Down, Sound Down" session will be held specifically for families with children who have special needs, providing a sensory-friendly environment before the general public doors open.
