Jurassic Park is a beloved and iconic franchise that has captivated audiences worldwide through books, movies, theme park attractions, and various forms of merchandise. Created by author Michael Crichton, the franchise explores the concept of bringing dinosaurs back to life through genetic engineering, leading to thrilling adventures, moral dilemmas, and awe-inspiring encounters with prehistoric creatures.

Universal has been celebrating Jurassic Park‘s 30th Anniversary at Universal Studios Florida. Guests could walk inside the Tribute Store, which was decorated as Jurassic Park. Guests could take iconic photos like sitting on the toilet with the T-Rex above them and buy exclusive merchandise to support Jurassic Park‘s 30th Anniversary. When the store first opened, guests could view a large dinosaur outside the building.
