OAKS, PA — A "dinosaur safari," replete with life-sized, moving replicas of Jurassic-era creatures, is coming to Philadelphia.

The drive-thru event had previously announced the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks as its location, but is now changed to the Wells Fargo Center lots in Philadelphia due to high demand. It will be held from Sept. 4 through Sept. 13, organizers announced.

Jurassic Quest is a nationally touring attraction which features up to 100 replicas of all kinds of dinosaurs, ranging from the smallest to the most massive, and including those only found deep in the oceans. That includes a replica of the 50-foot-long Megalodon, and more.
