DinoFest saved from extinction at Victoria Park!

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.

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.
