Robot Dinosaurs Return To Foxborough

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Gillette Stadium's own version of Jurassic Park returned to Gillette Stadium Friday, except these dinosaurs won't try to eat the researchers — or anyone else.

Stadium officials teamed up with Jurassic Quest to open an interactive drive-thru exhibit where guests can simulate prehistoric life with more than 70 moving and roaring animatronic dinosaurs and other creatures from the time period.

The exhibit includes favorites like the 50-foot Megalodon and an 80-foot Spinosaurus. Other features include a baby dinosaur and trainer meet-and-greets, photo opportunities and a choose-your-own-audio-adventure tour.

Paired with an online audio tour, Jurassic Quest is an educational experience for the whole family enjoyed from the safety of a vehicle. Jurassic Quest collaborated with paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur was replicated in every detail, from coloration to tooth size, to textured skin, fur or feathers, drawing on the latest research about how we understand dinosaurs and ancient giants of the sea looked and moved.

Friday marked the started of the exhibits second summer at Gillette Stadium. The first year was so popular, that stadium officials extended its run for two weeks.

The exhibit runs until July 11, and guests can purchase drive-thru tickets for an assigned time slot for $49 per vehicle.
