HUNTSVILLE – Get ready for lots of “dino-mite” fun! Jurassic Quest and Brick Fest Live, a family LEGO-inspired event, will “assemble” together under one roof for the first time to offer interactive, educational fun at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville this weekend, Sept. 5-7.
Family favorites abound, with Jurassic Quest’s 165 million years of life-size, animatronic dinosaurs and Brick Fest Live’s millions of bricks of LEGO-fun together for the first time for memory-making, interactive fun and STEAM learning.
Jurassic Quest
Jurassic Quest provides unforgettable adventure, transporting families through 165 million years of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to roam among paleontologist- approved, true-to-life versions of the creatures that once ruled the Earth.
Families can go on “The Quest,” a self-guided scavenger hunt-style activity where budding paleontologists can become Jr. Park Rangers, and learn all about the dinosaurs and time periods with the help of a fun and fact-filled video tour – including the towering fan-favorite Spinosaurus! It includes: • Lifelike, scientifically accurate dinosaur herd (some move and roar!)
• REAL fossils like T-Rex teeth, a triceratops horn and much more
• Live dinosaur shows all day and meet baby dinos!
• “Ancient Oceans” featuring creatures of the deep
• The largest rideable dinosaurs in North America
• Interactive science and art activities including a giant fossil dig
• Dino rides, bounce houses and inflatable attractions
• “Triceratots” soft play area for junior explorers
• Photo opportunities, face painting, and more!
Brick Fest Live
At Brick Fest Live, families go all-in on imagination with over a million building bricks at stations and attractions designed to inspire creativity and play.
Guests can meet LEGO Masters, get hands-on with different brick challenges, and build with unlimited access to millions of bricks in one place. Experienced and novice builders won’t want to miss these highlights:
• Join a Guinness World Record Challenge: Help create a massive floor mosaic (or ROARsaic!)
• Giant Brick Pit: Explore a play area filled with over 200,000 colorful bricks.
• Life-Size Models: See awe-inspiring builds from around the world.

“Dinosaurs and LEGOs are prime entry points to introduce children to so many aspects of science, from biology and geology to engineering,” said David Taube, CEO of Family Quest Entertainment, which operates Jurassic Quest and Brick Fest Live. “At Family Quest Entertainment, we’re all about turning science into an adventure. By bringing together Jurassic Quest and Brick Fest Live for the first time ever, we’re giving families a chance to dive into the world of dinosaurs, handson building, and creativity – all in one action-packed day. It’s a perfect mix of learning, laughter, and memories that will last long after the event ends!”
