This year’s event brings that ancient adventure to life with dino displays, fossil digs, and roaring fun for all ages.

When: Saturday, October 25

Where: Gardens North County District Park, Palm Beach Gardens

Get ready to time-travel! Jurassic Safari lets families wander among life-size animatronic dinosaurs, dig for fossils, and snap dino-selfies.
