Hold your rawr. In 2023, Tampa Bay will be taking a huge step back in time. North Carolina’s Jurassic Encounter is coming to Largo Central Park and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, bringing prehistoric fun for the whole family. 👪

Ready for a dino-mite time? The experience is soon announcing their new dates coming in spring 2023 — after rescheduling from their fall 2022 dates. But here’s a glimpse of what you can expect.

Some rawr details 🦕

For starters, you’ll be able to observe animatronic replicas of around 70 dinosaur species at this 10-day local experience. You can find your favorite, whether it’s a pterodactyl or the famous T-Rex. The tour will also bring fun interactive activities, such as bounce houses and a dino dig for the kiddos. 🦖
