Sonoma County, CA— 6.30.23 The Sonoma County Fair is gearing up to transport visitors back in time with its highly anticipated “Jurassic Jubilee.” From Aug. 3-13, fairgoers of all ages will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a prehistoric world filled with lifelike animatronic dinosaurs and an array of thrilling activities. This year’s fair promises to be an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
One of the highlights of the “Jurassic Jubilee” is the mesmerizing Flower Show, where attendees will find themselves surrounded by 10 awe-inspiring, life-size animatronic dinosaurs. Taking inspiration from the Cretaceous period, each professionally landscaped garden will feature dinosaurs measuring up to a remarkable 45 feet in length.

Dinosaur enthusiasts and curious minds will find themselves drawn to the Jurassic Adventure Zone, where a multitude of exciting and educational activities await. Younger fairgoers can hop on the Jurassic racetrack and experience the thrill of driving toy dinosaur vehicles, available in both battery-powered and foot-powered options. Budding paleontologists can join in the excitement by participating in a fossil excavation, uncovering a remarkable 20-foot dinosaur fossil. Additionally, visitors can unleash their artistic talents by contributing to a captivating dinosaur-themed mural.
Throughout the fairgrounds, dinosaurs will be omnipresent, popping up in exhibits, parade floats and presenting various photo opportunities.
