Logan wore himself out in the first hour running f Logan wore himself out in the first hour running from dinosaur to dinosaur at @jurassicquest today! These life size automated dinosaurs are such a cool experience! 

This is is such a memorable family event! The line up prior to opening was like a concert line but with eager children. One friend asked me if it lived up to the hype, and I definitely think so! I would have liked to read about each and every dinosaur they had on display but was too busy chasing an excited kiddo. 

If you want to hit the Lethbridge show this weekend, use the code ‘RACHEL10’ to save 10%! 

Not shown here are the baby animals and trainers, dinosaur rides, bouncy castles, and other games. We were too worn out chasing Logan around! 😰
