Dare to Enter the Kingdom of the Dinosaurs
Dino Kingdom will be taking over Thoresby Park for two weeks this autumn with 100 prehistoric beasts set to be unleashed to roam across the plains and woodlands of the beautiful historic landscape!
The epic adventure will bring ancient history back to life with jaw-droppingly realistic dinosaurs including the gigantic T-rex, King of the Jurassic era, and all kinds of other animatronic creatures that can move and roar! Coming from the creators of the award-winning Lightopia Festival, this will be a chance to journey back millions of years to the time when these majestic beasts reigned over the land and see them as they would have lived in a natural outdoor habitat.
Technology will bring the prehistoric world to life with loads of innovative features packed into the state of the art experience from 3D anatomy mapping to a nerve jangling encounter with holographic dinosaurs hiding amongst the ancient woodlands.
Offering a perfect blend of education and entertainment, Dino Kingdom visitors will discover all kinds of things about these amazing creatures inside and out as they are brought to life in a completely new and exciting way. A Dino Kingdom app has been created for the Jurassic journey with loads of content to give a unique insight into how dinosaurs lived, millions of years ago.
As well as the natural outdoor setting, there will be indoor activities including lots of fun interactive features from designing a dinosaur to see it come to life in a virtual kingdom or feeding the hungry beasts in a Dino Keeper VR experience.
An excavation sand pit for budding paleontologists, dinosaur eggs, fossils, smouldering volcanoes, a giant dinosaur skeleton head and a walk-through fossil tunnel as well as fairground rides for all ages and plenty of family friendly food and drink look set to make this an unforgettable experience.
Dino Kingdom opens on 15th October 2021 and concludes on 31th October 2021.
🎃 Dare to Meet the Dinosaurs in the Dark for New Halloween Special! 🎃
When the sun goes down, Dino Kingdom will transform into a land of spooky surprises with creepy ghosts, skeleton skulls and zombies, evil spiders and bats and weird witches lurking in the shadows.
For those who dare, the special evenings will take them on an adventure down a trail lit only by the light of lanterns blowing eerily in the breeze to see the dinosaurs come to life by moonlight.
There will be some surprises on route so watch out for scary holographic projections, the fire pit with real fire, smoke effects and don’t miss out on the trick and treat sweets that make up the Dino Kingdom Halloween Special. All the fun available during the day will be on offer too including the outdoor play areas, fair rides, food outlets & shops.
