Dinosaurs To Put On Show In Hartford

HARTFORD, CT — In the "Jurassic Park" and "Jurassic World" movies, the situation didn't turn out well after tourists and dinosaurs mixed.

But organizers of the "Jurassic World Live Tour" event that starts at Hartford's XL Center this week promise nothing will happen — the dinosaurs featured are fake. (But, boy do they look real.)

Described as an "exhilarating and unpredictable live, family entertainment experience that brings the wonder and thrills of Jurassic World to generations of fans," the event comes to Hartford for the first time this weekend, Nov. 3-5.

The production features more than 24 film-accurate, life-sized dinosaurs, with scale, speed and ferocity. They are operated by animatronics and performers.

Guests will be able to start the adventure early with a special pre-show experience included with all ticket purchases.

By arriving one hour before showtime, audience members can see their favorite Jurassic World dinosaurs and vehicles up close and personal, including fun photo opportunities with the dinosaurs.

Tickets range from nearly $30 to nearly $110 depending on how close guests are to the action.

Friday's first showing is at 7 p.m., with shows Saturday at 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Sunday features noon and 4 p.m. shows.
