“Jurassic World: Exhibition”

Launched in Australia in 2016, this fully immersive exhibit recreates the sights, sounds and fears from the Jurassic Park movies. In a 20,000-square-foot tent in the parking lot of Mission Valley Mall, visitors “ride” the ferry to Isla Nublar, where they’ll encounter velociraptors, a massive Brachiosaurus and a roaring T-Rex on the loose. Due to the slight intimidation factor, it is best suited for children aged 8 and up. Opening hours: from 11:00 to 18:00. Monday and Thursday; from 11:00 to 19:00 on Fridays; from 10:00 to 19:00 on Saturdays. Until April 16th.
