Huge Indoor Dinosaur Adventure Coming to Altamont This Weekend

Know Someone Obsessed with Dinosaurs?

If your kids are obsessed with dinosaurs, you may want to clear some space on the calendar this weekend.

Dinosaur Adventure is taking over the Altamont Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 3rd, and Sunday, October 4th, bringing life-size dinosaurs that move and roar to the Capital Region.

So Much to Do

And this isn't just a walk around and look at some dinosaurs kind of thing. Organizers highlighted some pretty cool things to do while you're there.

Kids can dig for fossils, ride dinosaur-themed scooters, climb aboard dinosaur rides, and burn off some energy inside a prehistoric playground filled with dinosaur-themed inflatables. There will also be coloring activities and live entertainment featuring Velociraptor performers.

The entire event is indoors, so lousy October weather won't spoil your prehistoric plans at the Altamont Fairgrounds.

What You Need to Know

Dinosaur Adventure runs from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Altamont Fairgrounds.
Guests can arrive anytime before the final entry, which is one hour before closing, and stay as long as they'd like. Same-day re-entry is also allowed.
There's also a nice option for families with children who have special needs or sensory sensitivities.
The event will open early at 8:30 a.m. Sunday for a quieter experience before general admission begins.
Children under 2 get in free. Adults and children ages 2 and older need tickets.

And parents, one important tip before loading up the kids: Bring socks for the inflatables.
