About Dino Day

Enjoy a fun packed one hour Dino experience from a Dino Ranger and three well behaved baby Dinosaurs, four real live reptiles including snake, lizards and tortoise.

Get up close to a giant dinosaur egg bigger than a human head and a giant bone about the same size as the kids. The Dino Ranger also has a fun and colourful educational timeline display to look at the different time periods, dinosaur groups and land masses.

Afterwards, experience being a palaeontologist and dig for undiscovered fossils in the Dino Dig Pit! There will be other dino related crafts to enjoy too!
