BALTIMORE -- Over 160 million years of dinosaurs return to the Baltimore area in January. Jurassic Quest, an interactive dinosaur experience, will be at the Maryland State Fairgrounds. 

The experience will feature life-like moving and roaring dinosaurs, dinosaur-themed rides and attractions, live shows, interactive science and art activities including a giant fossil dig and more, organizers said. 

Last year, WJZ's Amy Kawata got a sneak peek before doors opened, and she made a fearsome new friend.
