Jurassic Quest Drive Thru Experience Returns to DTE Energy Music Theatre Parking Area June 18

Jurassic Quest Drive Thru, the nation’s largest and most realistic dinosaur experience, will make its return to the parking area of DTE Energy Music Theatre on Friday, June 18 and run through Sunday, July 4. The family-friendly event includes more than 70 photorealistic dinosaurs returning from extinction to delight dino fans everywhere.

In August 2020, about 34,000 families experienced the drive thru exhibit during its four-week stay at DTE Energy Music Theatre, making it one of the most popular stops in North America last summer. After welcoming millions of guests to sold-out events across the country, Jurassic Quest Drive Thru will once again transform outdoor areas throughout the region into a fun-filled drive-thru experience.

“It is great to welcome back Jurassic Quest Drive Thru to DTE Energy Music Theatre,” Howard Handler, president of 313 Presents, said. “The event last year exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to creating more memories for our guests this summer. We continue to see the enthusiasm for live events remains strong, and this family-friendly drive through experience allows us to keep our guests entertained while following current safety guidelines.”
