Life-size dinosaurs will roam Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center this weekend with Jurassic Quest, a traveling dinosaur museum and fair. Visitors can gawk at an 80-foot-long Apatosaurus, a 60-foot-long Spinosaurus and a life-size Tyrannosaurus rex as they become immersed in a world millions of years old.

Dinosaur expert Marty Hoffman, who goes by Park Ranger Marty, said the show isn’t just entertainment — it’s a gateway science. Young participants with an interest in dinosaurs may soon find themselves delving into the fields of biology, geology or astronomy.
