Dinosaurs To Roam DTE Energy Music Theatre Grounds
CBS Detroit - Take the kids on a drive that explores the dinosaurs that once roamed the earth. Jurrasic Quest is a traveling display that brings over 80 life-sized dinosaurs, with some being animatronic in what It calls itself as "America's largest and realistic dinosaur event".
According to the Morton Times-News, the displays were created in conjunction with paleontologists, to be very realistic to what they think different species looked like. Complete with scaley skin, feathers, or fake fur. Some the dinosaurs, roar, move and walk around. As people tour this interactive exhibit in their cars on the DTE Energy Music Theatre grounds, an audio tour will play on people's smartphones that they can amplify through their vehicle's entertainment system if so-equipped. The event is part of the same traveling-tour that has been held in indoor venues in other parts of the country as well.
