What an amazing time we had on Halloween night! Over 1000 trick-or-treaters (and that doesn’t count their families!) passed through the gates of Jurassic Park, walked beneath a full-sized T-Rex and Brachiosaurus, journeyed into the Visitor’s Center to get their treats, helped keep a velociraptor from escaping from its enclosure and interacted with costumed characters, scientists and even some dinosaurs that walked around! Here are some photos from the night! 
A dinosaur friend says, “Hi!” to visitors entering through the Jurassic Park main gate.

This is what happened when we tried to access the Jurassic Park controls. Hey, what’s that can of Barbasol doing there?
Oh no, Blue is trying to escape the Velociraptor Containment Unit (photo booth). Some brave folks try to keep him in.

So many dinosaurs, so many visitors!

Thanks to everyone who helped and visited!!! See you next year!!!
(By the way, if you are interested in perhaps purchasing the giant T-Rex head or the brachiosaurus head, contact us.)
Happy Halloween!

I am a principal at an elementary school! We are planning a carnival night with the theme Jurassic Jamboree. I would love some DIY ideas and how tos from your pictures! We are working on a budget since it is a fundraiser.

AuthorHi Monica, as you can see in this blog post: https://www.albertzone.com/halloween/2019/12/welcome-to-jurassic-park/ we used cardboard, some large eggs we bought at Michaels around Easter time, inflatable T-Rex costumes, and large palm fronds (from a neighbor’s yard) to help bring the scene to life. We also got some safari hats from Oriental Trading company and when we paired that with a tan, button up shirt, that made for ‘park rangers’ who could roam around. One of our park rangers had a baby dinosaur puppet, which many people thought was ‘real.’ Hope that helps!
