DinoFest saved from extinction at Victoria Park!

A group of children excitedly pet a friendly dinosaur at a lively event.
It seems the dinosaurs at Victoria Park aren't extinct after all...

DinoFest was so popular in the school holidays that these prehistoric creatures are hanging around a little longer.

These life-sized, walking and interactive dinos will make a special encore this weekend (3 and 4 May) and next weekend (10 and 11 May).

This year, there are more than 30 roaringly cool dinosaur species, including for the first time ever in Australia – a walking Spinosaurus and not one, but two head-butting Pachycephalosaurus! There’s a brand-new Dino Trail, epic life-size dinos like Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus and heaps of adorable baby dinosaurs too.

A young boy gently pets a colorful dinosaur toy, smiling with joy in a playful indoor setting.

It’s all outdoors and hands-on, perfect for little explorers aged nine and under. Kids can pat, play, and roam with the dinos in a fun, safe, and super interactive experience.

Of course, DinoFest is all about the kings and queens of the prehistoric world – especially the Tyrannosaurs! Kids will learn how these dog-sized dinos grew into the terrifying T. Rex, the world’s most famous predator.

But that’s not all – there are heaps of other fan-favourite dinosaurs to meet and touch, all designed to spark kids’ imaginations and leave them with memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Dig, discover & create

It’s not just dino-watching – there’s a full-on adventure waiting! Enjoy a 45-minute Dinosaur Encounter, follow the amazing Dino Trail with a full-sized T. Rex, and get stuck into fun hands-on activities like the Dino Dig, fossil-feeling station with real dinosaur bones, and dino-themed arts and crafts.
