America's largest dinosaur experience, Jurassic Quest, will be stopping in 2 Illinois cities this October, and tickets are available now.

With the new Jurassic Park movie raking in millions of dollars at the box office, dinosaurs are once again at the front of public consciousness. But millions of years ago, when there was very little public consciousness, were there dinosaurs running around what is now Illinois?

Jurassic Gardens in Volo, Illinois offers a true prehistoric experience with animatronic dinosaurs, real dinosaur fossils and skeletons, and SOO much more.

Rockford's Burpee Museum of Natural History will once again celebrate all things prehistoric with the 22nd annual PaleoFest featuring speakers from around the world, and awesome activities for all ages.

I smell a publicity stunt. I figured that since Jurassic World will be hitting theaters around the globe in the next few weeks, this was simply a some pre-promotion for the film. I mean, when you're spending that kind of money on a production, you've got to have a big promotional budget, right...

First things first: the trailer for the upcoming Jurassic World movie is pretty cool (if you're into pretty cool movie trailors). However, the movie's website is really outstanding. Outstanding in the sense that, if you didn't know this was all about a movie, you might think this place is for real...
