SUMMARY:Jurassic Quest
DESCRIPTION:The largest and most realistic dinosaur exhibit in North America is back\, bigger\, and better than ever! More than 100 photorealistic dinosaurs are ready to delight families when Jurassic Quest roars into Wisconsin State Fair Park Friday\, September 16th through Sunday\, September 18th\, 2022. \nJurassic Quest offers some of the most beloved and unique experiences for the whole family including more than 100 life-like dinosaurs\, dinosaur themed rides\, live dinosaur shows\, interactive science and art activities\, a “Triceratots” soft play area for our littlest explorers\, bounce houses and inflatable attractions (socks required)\, photo opportunities\, and more. \nWalk and drive through the Cretaceous\, Jurassic and Triassic periods to see the dinos that ruled on land\, and “deep dive” into the “Ancient Oceans” exhibit to come face to face with the largest apex predator that ever existed – a moving\, life-size\, 50-foot-long megalodon. Meet the babies\, hatched only at Jurassic Quest: Cammie the Camarasaurus\, Tyson the T-Rex and Trixie the Triceratops – and\, you may even catch one of our star dino trainers: Safari Sarah\, Dino Dustin\, Captain Caleb\, Prehistoric Nick or Park Ranger Marty! \nThe Jurassic Quest herd of animatronic dinos – from the largest predators to playful baby dinos – are displayed in realistic scenes with some that move and roar\, allowing guests to experience them as they were when they roamed the earth billions of years ago. \nJurassic Quest works in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur is 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. \nTickets are timed entry — reserve online to ensure desired date and time. Tickets are also available on-site and include a 100% ticket guarantee that in the event of a show cancellation or postponement for any reason\, ticket purchases will be automatically refunded for the full purchase amount.

SUMMARY:Dino Safari - A Drive-Thru Adventure
DESCRIPTION:It’s like a prehistoric passport! Drive through and among over 40 giant moving dinosaurs with Dino Safari\, a family-friendly drive-thru dinosaur adventure. Check out every type of dinosaur from the T. Rex to the giant Spinosaurus. As you watch them from your vehicle\, you can learn how these dinosaurs evolved over millions of years\, where they lived and roamed\, what they ate\, how they moved\, and more. (Maybe\, in the case of T. Rex\, you can learn why they had such short arms!) \n \nBefore you go through\, videos are available to help illustrate what you’re about to witness. An audio tour is also available to accompany you as you go through\, helping to illustrate all of this information. Also be aware that earthquakes might erupt on your tour\, dinosaurs might get into battles\, and you might have to step up and help save a baby dinosaur! All COVID-safe\, by the way. \n \n \nDino Safari Hours\nMonday – Thursdays 12pm – 8pm\, last ticket sold at 7:30\nFridays – Sundays 9am – 9pm\, last ticket sold at 8:30 \nGet Tickets Here. Admission is $49.95 per regular car or SUV\, up to 7 occupants allowed per vehicle. For larger vehicles (up to 6′ wide\, 9′ high\, and 20′ long) admission is $59.95. Admission includes the drive-thru experience\, a survival pack with a park passport\, and – as they say – “other surprises”! \nThe Dino Safari takes place on the Wisconsin State Fair Park grounds from April 18th through May 2nd\, 2021. You can easily get to the grounds via I-94 (exit #306) and Highways 59 (Greenfield Avenue) and 181 (84th Street). U.S. 18/Bluemound Road is close by to the north\, and you can access 84th Street via ramps from northbound and southbound I-41/I-894/U.S. 45.  It’s a great way to have family fun while staying safe in your vehicle – from both COVID and the dinosaurs! \n \nDino Safari Drive-Thru Address:\nWisconsin State Fair Park (enter at North Lot 5 off Highway 181/84th Street)\n640 S. 84th Street\nWest Allis\, WI 53214\nWebsite\n \n \n\n\n\n \nBack to StateTrunkTour.com

SUMMARY:Open House Racine County at Modine-Benstead Observatory
DESCRIPTION:Astronomy lovers and people who just like “far out” things\, this is for you! The Modine-Benstead Observatory is hosing one of its Open House Racine County events Saturday night\, June 8th for free exploration of the observatory and the stars and planets its telescopes gaze upon. \nSeriously\, you can just go in for free and look at the universe through their telescopes. Depending on conditions\, you can check out the moon\, planets\, and many deep sky objects. If they’re deep enough\, remember that you’re actually looking back in time. For example\, when you view the Andromeda galaxy\, you are looking back in time 2.9 million years. Trippy\, man! \nThese public open house events are held monthly from April through October. Parking is free along with free admission. The Racine Astrological Society\, which runs the whole thing\, is a non-profit\, volunteer-run organization and of course small donations are welcomed to help defray the yearly costs of observatory maintenance and care. While families are welcome\, be sure to keep young children close (it’s a dark area\, since the grounds are not illuminated to promote better observing) and instruct them to be careful with the telescope equipment\, which is provided by RAS members. Note that there may be lines to make observations through some telescopes. Questions are expected and welcomed\, since part of their club mission is to educate and inspire people to participate in the world of amateur astronomy. Astronomical equipment you’ll find at the RAS observatory will range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars in value.The night of an open house there will be a message on the observatory answering machine (262-878-2774) if the skies are too cloudy. \nThe Modine-Benstead Observatory is located at the intersection of County Highway A & 63rd Drive in Yorkville\, less than a mile south of Highway 20\, a little over a mile east of U.S. 45\, and less than 3 miles west of I-41/94 (take Exit 333/Highway 20 west.) \nOpen House at Modine-Benstead Observatory Event Address:\nModine-Benstead Observatory\n112 63rd Avenue\nUnion Grove\, WI 53182\n(262) 878-2774\nWebsite \n\n\n\n \n  \nAdditional Modine-Benstead Observatory Open House Days in 2019:\nSpring Astronomy Day\nSat.\, May 11th\n8:30 – 11:00 PM \nFriday\, June 7th\n8:30 – 11:00 PM \nSolar Observing\nSat.\, June 8th\n1:00 – 4:00 PM \nFriday\, July 12th\n8:30 – 11:00 PM \nFriday\, August 16th\n8:00 – 11:00 PM \nFriday\, Sept. 13th\n8:00 – 11:00 PM \nFall Astronomy Day\nSat.\, October 5th\n7:00 – 10:00 PM
