It’s an event 65 million years in the making. From Boxing Day, Adelaide Zoo is travelling back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Today, seven life-size and life-like roaring, snarling and moving animatronic dinosaurs move in to Adelaide Zoo, just in time for the school holidays.
Visitors will be able to travel back in time to when dinosaurs roamed the earth and take a prehistoric journey into the Jurassic realm to meet our newest but most ancient residents.
Ever wanted to measure up to a T. Rex, come face-to-face with a Spinosauras or take a selfie with an Apatosaurus?
Learn about these fascinating and gigantic creatures and their similarities to some of your favourite zoo residents.
You will also find out about Adelaide Zoo’s work as a conservation charity saving their modern-day ancestors from going the way of the dinosaurs.
Visitors to the zoo can also download the free Adelaide Zoo app from iTunes or Google Play and access our special Dinosaurs Alive interactive trail, which will bring the dinosaurs to life with lots of fun facts and information.
Plus, we have lots of new members of our wild family waiting to meet you, including our adorable White-cheeked Gibbon baby, Hamadryas Baboon infant and tiny Golden Lion Tamarin youngster.
With all of this fun included in the price of a general admission ticket or membership, there’s no better time to visit Adelaide Zoo. Round up your little paleontologists to meet our dinosaur friends, along with all of your favourite zoo residents. Don’t miss this dino-mite immersive experience!
There’s even more packed in to both Adelaide and Monarto Zoo’s fun-filled schedules over the school break to keep little and big people alike busy, with free Meet the Keeper presentations and some great prizes up for grabs.
Adelaide Zoo’s vacation care program, ZOOcation, is also in full swing, giving kids an opportunity to spend the day at the zoo visiting all their favourite animal friends under the care of our qualified conservation educators.
The dinosaurs are on display from Monday, 26 December to Sunday, 29 January so make sure you stomp your way in to Adelaide Zoo before they go extinct…again!
