The Jurassic Park film franchise and the love of dinosaurs in general is a cultural phenom. The fantastical world of Isla Nubar was recently brought back to life with last years Jurassic World; starring Chris Pratt as the titular hero and Jimmy Buffet sipping a margarita at his own restaurant while innocent people were being picked off by flying man-eaters.
Now, you too, can explore the world of Isla Nubar at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA with their all new Jurassic World exhibit, featuring full-size animatronic dinos close enough to get your fingers bit off. All while learning a thing or two about dino DNA, and participating in hands-on experiments.

This is mostly likely the next best thing other than hopping into a helicopter and flying off to the islands with Chris Pratt to hang with his trained team of highly-intelligent velociraptors.
