Woodland trail featuring 30+ moving, roaring animatronic dinosaurs including T-Rex, Brachiosaurus, and Velociraptors, combined with a full zoo housing big cats, primates, and farmyard animals. Rex Express train rides add a second viewing angle.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for dinosaur-obsessed children aged 3 to 10 who will be genuinely awed by the scale and realism of the animatronic models. The zoo sections extend the visit well beyond the dinosaur trail alone. Plan for a full day — combining both zones with the train ride makes it a substantial outing.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡The Rex Express train offers a different viewing angle of the dinosaurs for a small additional charge
The exit from the dinosaur zone passes through the gift shop — set expectations with children beforehand
🎟️Allow a full day to cover both the dinosaur trail and the zoo sections
🚗Bring a camera — there are numerous photo spots with the dinosaur models

My son is Dino crazy and this didnt disapoint. Great relistic animatronics which will leave the kids being amazed. Lots of different dinosaurs and educational information on them as you walk through the dinosaur zone. Lots of photo spots. Just be aware that the exit from the dinosaur zone once in, is only through the Dino gift shop. Not stupidly expensive but something to consider with the little ones wanting a souvenir. Well worth it plus the other side has a zoo.

Really good for any kids that like dinosaurs! Huge animations and a cute gift shop 10/10. The zoo was also well maintained and had lots of animals. Made a very good day out! All the staff were friendly and helpful!
