Warm Sunday Walking Lucy Park Leads to Jurassic Dinosaurs

It was back to Lucy Park on this first Sunday of the second month of 2023, for some refreshing nature communing under a clear blue windless sky, which you can see via the above photo documentation.

I should have been in shorts and t-shirt. I overheated. 

After Lucy Park, on the way back to my abode, I came upon a herd of dinosaurs corralled inside a fence enclosure on the east end of the Sike Senter mall parking lot.

The herd of dinosaurs moved slowly, what with being reptiles, and thus cold-blooded, with 60 degrees rendering them sluggish. Rolling down my window to take a picture I was surprised by how loud the dinosaurs were.

I saw a sign attached to the fence which indicated this herd of dinosaurs is known as Jurassic Empire. I Google "Jurassic Empire Sikes Senter" to learn the following...

Jurassic Empire is the largest most realistic dinosaur drive-thru event in Texas. It will feature more than 50, moving, breathing, giant life-size realistic dinosaurs in their natural habitat, including a giant T-Rex. The drive-thru event will have you and your family going from the Jurassic era all the way through the Ice Age.

Admission prices are as follows: Weekdays, Thursdays, and Fridays: $45 per car for one to seven people and $75 for eight to 14 people. On the weekends, Saturday and Sunday: $55 per car for one to seven people and $85 for eight to 14 people.

Well, that explains the vehicles which were maneuvering through the orange cones. It somehow did not seem all that realistic, what with being on a parking lot, surrounded by a cyclone fence, with orange cones marking the route through the imaginary natural habitat.

Maybe little kids would find this to be fun. But? $45 being the cheapest admission price? Are there really all that many people who would think this would be worth $45?
