A traveling dinosaur show with more than 70 walking, life-like animatronic dinosaurs, is slated to stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Jan. 1-10. The interactive drive-thru exhibit, called Jurassic Quest, will transform the fairgrounds outdoor parking area into a prehistoric dinosaur wonderland.
The exhibit features dozens of prehistoric creatures such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops and the 80-foot-long Spinosaurus along with the 50-foot-long Megalodon and marine creatures meticulously re-created by paleontologists and displayed in realistic scenes that allow visitors to drive though and watch the dinosaurs roaring and moving. Visitors will be guided along with a digital audio tour (in English or Spanish) featuring show entertainers and dinosaur wranglers that lasts about an hour.

The year 2020 has been far from ordinary, so why not do something equally unexpected this holiday season? New destinations and novel attractions offer ways to break from tradition and try something different.
If the whole family is feeling a bit bah humbug, the new Kalahari Resorts and Conventions Round Rock, immediately north of Austin, is sure to liven things up. The African-themed site, which opened on Nov. 12, encompasses the largest indoor waterpark resort in the United States, spanning 223,000 square feet, plus an adventure park filled with thrilling rides and zip lines, climbing walls, and dedicated areas for mini-golf, bowling, and laser tag. Although the resort includes three sprawling acres of outdoor pools, the indoor options hold the most appeal in winter, with 30 waterslides and 20 different heated pools and whirlpools to explore.
