Vacay.ca Recommends Edmonton Vacations For Dinosaur Sightings
Vacay.ca writer Karen Evenden was driving along Highway 28, just 25 minutes north of Edmonton when she looked out her window and saw a dinosaur. No, we aren’t making that up.
Welcome to Jurassic Forest, an exciting new attraction that transports the visitor back in time to the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic periods, over 65 million years ago.
Evenden reports: “Jurassic Forest was created just over two years ago by a group of local investors who wanted to build an attraction that was entertaining but also educational.
The forest spans more than 45 acres and currently houses 47 animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar, screech or squawk convincingly. Animatronic figures are powered by pneumatics (compressed air), hydraulics (pressurized oil), or by electrical means. A self-guided tour takes the visitor around two trails, each one kilometre in length, through old and new forest areas with a different exhibit around each corner. There are interpretive signs at each exhibit describing the dinosaur’s size, habitat and history. There are also many interpreters along the trails, willing to supply additional information.”
