Miami Seaquarium’s Jurassic VR Park Takes You Away From Reality and puts you on an Epic Prehistoric Adventure!
September 23rd, 2023
The Miami Seaquarium takes a trip through time as it welcomes Jurassic VR Park. The world’s largest dinosaur VR experience offers a unique educational tour of the history of dinosaurs as well as realistic action-packed encounters of the prehistoric world. VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) technology gives you the sights and feelings that you are part of the past and in the middle of the action. The hour-long family friendly journey is only available for a limited time until October 20th.
The tour starts with an intro video explaining the history of the dinosaurs and gives you a brief tutorial of the equipment and what to expect during your journey.
After you get a feel for the VR headsets you will enter the first adventure simulation ride. Here you will begin a travel through time to show the history of Earth and how dinosaurs came to be during the changes in climates and conditions. The visuals and movements are very vivid and do a great job of showing the history that led up to the prehistoric era. The 360 views are amazing to see as the detail of the simulation is magnificent. The conclusion of this ride leads up to the next section of the experience where you get to experience more of Augmented Reality.

Jurassic VR Park
Before entering the next room, you are fitted with an array of accessories to bring you a full AR experience. These accessories include a vest, wand, wrist/ankle straps as well as a VR headset. Together they give you a dynamic sensory experience while you roam around and explore the prehistoric world. During the exploration you will get a hands-on feeling of different plants and dinosaurs as well as evading lava and try to save a baby dinosaur. Along the way you will interact with different objects and maneuver through obstacles to complete your mission. The AR and VR mixture does a great job of giving the illusion that you are in a different world and gives the feelings of fear and danger as you traverse through this world.
After completing the mission, you will proceed to the next area of Jurassic VR Park. In this section you will feel like you are flying on a bird’s wings as you get to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beautiful and majestic prehistoric landscape. Since you will be sitting on a swiveling swing you will be able to go with the motions of the VR to give yourself a very realistic 360-degree experience. The vivid imagery makes you feel like you’re in another world. This last section does a great job of wrapping up the experience and leaves guests with their jaws dropped.
Overall, Jurassic VR Park was an amazing experience that exceeded expectations. The history tour was very informative and gave a great explanation of the history of the world and how dinosaurs came to be. The AR and VR experience was amazing and at many times were exciting enough to increase your heart rate. This is a great experience for all ages. Of note, before leaving the VR Park, there is a gift shop with souvenirs to remember the one-of-a-kind experience.
