Life-Like Dinosaurs Roaring into Grand Prairie’s EpicCentral in March

An animatronic T-Rex, a Stegosaurus, a Brachiosaurus, and other Jurassic favorites will be part of the Ext-ROAR-dinary Dino Fest coming to EpicCentral March 15-17.

If you wander into EpicCentral uninformed next month, something might scare you right in the Jurassic. But don’t worry—the weekend visit by multiple dinosaurs is guaranteed to be chomp-free.

From March 15 to 17, EpicCentral in Grand Prairie is presenting The Ext-ROAR-dinary Dino Fest, a free, family-friendly event featuring life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, hands-on activities, and “roaring good fun for all ages.”

A kid-favorite towering T-Rex will be poised for selfie-taking, along with a Stegosaurus, a Brachiosaurus, and more, organizers said. The life-like dinos were brought to life by Allen-based The Dinosaur Company.
