Children and adults can take a step back into pre-historic times at the Prince William County Fair.
“Jurassic Kingdom” is a new stage show at the fair this year. It tells the story of three baby dinosaurs — a Pterodactyl, a Triceratops, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex — and how the reptiles lived in their time on earth.
The show has a mixture of childrens’ and adult humor. Children are also invited to come up and touch fossils during the show.
“We’ve always been fascinated with dinosaurs and pre-historic times…” said Kala Colonia, who is part of the stage show. “There are so many dinosaurs, and so many ages: ice age, pre historic era, the ocean had many, many dinosaurs, the land had many, many dinosaurs, so there’s just a lot to see and do.”
The dinosaurs are all operated by people, so there’s no animatronics here. Having a human inside the dinosaur makes it come to life.
Also appearing on stage during the show is a caveman on a trampoline and a comedy acrobat routine, added Colonia.
There are two “Jurassic Kingdom” shows each night at the fair: one at 5:30 p.m. and the next at 7:30 p.m. The show is free with gate admission.
“Jurassic Kingdom” is performed at fairs and venues between Florida and Virginia between February and November each year. This year marks its first appearance at the Prince William County Fair.
