Jurassic Outpost shared details on the expansive plans, which will include new broadcast, digital, and game content, new exclusives, celebration events, and the original film returning to theatres. Entertainment Weekly revealed additional details about the Jurassic Park presence at San Diego Comic-Con today, which will be called “Step Into Jurassic Park“. Fans will be transported into the world with a free, timed-event that will let you encounter some of your favorite dinosaurs and moments from the original 1993 film.

There will also be giveaways, Jurassic-themed food offerings, and more. The event will only be open for two days, on Friday, July 21-Saturday, July 22 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at Luce Cielo (315 15th St, San Diego, CA) — about a 20 minute walk from the convention center.
