INDIANAPOLIS — They lived over 200 million years ago and as kids, we could only dream of seeing one in real life. Now, you and your kids can see some dinosaurs over at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

More than 70 photorealistic dinosaurs have returned from extinction for the Jurassic Quest Drive Thru at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and Event Center.

Jurassic Quest's herd of animatronic dinos – from the largest predators to playful baby dinos – are displayed in realistic scenes that allow guests to experience them roaring and moving as they drive through the tour.

The dinosaurs were created in collaboration with paleontologists and a news release said each dinosaur was "painstakingly replicated in every detail, from coloration to teeth 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."

The drive-thru experience is complete with baby dino trainer meet and greets, photo opportunities and a choose-your-own-audio-adventure tour. 

This adventure is only going on until May 9. Tickets are available online
