The Dino & Dragon Stroll North American Tour is coming to Columbus this weekend.

Maybe not historically accurate, but certainly entertaining, the Dino & Dragon Stroll will hit the Greater Columbus Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, with creatures both prehistoric and mythical.

Guests can amble through the event, watching as animatronically enhanced creatures — some up to 28 feet tall and 60 feet long — move their heads, wag their tails, blink their eyes, and open and close their mouths, with intimidating sound effects to match.

Dinosaurs include baby and grown-up T-Rexes, stegosauruses and velociraptors, among others. Dragons will show off wings, horns, serpentine tails and their fire-breathing abilities. Selfies and other photos with the dragons and dinos are welcome.

Guests are encouraged bring canned food to donate to combat food insecurity in Greater Columbus.

Rides and other attractions will be available for added fees, and food will be for sale.
