Experience the Iconic Film Like Never Before
At the Hollywood Bowl, the complete Jurassic Park film will be projected in high definition while the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, performs John Williams’ timeless score live. That combination heightens every moment—giving fans old and new goosebumps you can only feel in person. Be ready to hum and whistle the iconic Jurassic Park theme song in the days leading up to the event, and after.
P.S. If you saw “Jurassic World Rebirth” in theaters, this is the perfect event to keep the Jurassic vibes going.
The Perfect Introduction To A Symphony Experience
Whether you’ve never experienced a live symphony or you’re trying to introduce your kids to orchestral concerts, Jurassic Park in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl is quite the thrilling introduction. While it’s a high-caliber orchestral performance, the Bowl is known for its relaxed, festive ambiance. Families bring picnics, kids can move freely, and the energy is celebratory—not stiff or formal. And with such a captivating film, it makes for an educational and exciting introduction to the beautiful and sometimes life-changing experience of hearing and seeing a symphony live. Who knows, you or your child just might be inspired to pick up an instrument.
Pre‑Show Adventures
With so much to explore, the Hollywood Bowl is like a playground for kids and adults alike. Grab some of their street food offerings or bring in your favorite snacks and drinks for a pre-show picnic. You can also lead everyone on either a self-guided or podcast-led walking tour of the venue that will help you walk off your meal, tire out your children, and give you a greater awareness and appreciation of the Bowl’s illustrious history, beautiful vegetation, and the critters that live in it.
Pro Tip: Take your kids on the infamous “people mover,” aka the moving sidewalk/escalator at the Hollywood Bowl. Kids always love taking it for a ride.
