Dinosaurs invading Chicago area this weekend

Dinosaurs are invading the Chicago area this weekend for Jurassic-sized family fun.

Billed as America's biggest dinosaur attraction, Jurassic Quest is bringing more than 100 life-like dinosaurs to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

The exhibition, which has been touring since 2013, gives guests a taste of what Earth was like millions of years ago when the giant creatures ruled the air, land and sea.
