Dinosaur Adventures- BEST Winter Holiday Day out
On Friday 20th June we stepped back
in time- WAY back in time to the prehistoric ages.. Well kind of J We were invited to come along to a
special preview of the Dinosaur Adventures, which has been set up under a heated
big top at Caulfield Racecourse.
If you don’t
want to drive, the train stops right out the front. There is parking but it is
limited and at certain times you must pay to park.
Dinosaur Adventures
is an exhibition that is captivating young and old alike. Explore a prehistoric
world full of life-size moving dinosaurs and be amazed and thrilled as the
greatest creatures ever to walk the earth, return and come alive right before
your eyes.
Marvel at the story
of their 200 million year domination of life on earth. Watch them move. Hear
the roar. From the ripple of their skin to the glint in their eye, you will
think that the dinosaurs really are back!
Apart from this
amazing animatronics show, you will be able to become a Paleontologist for the
day. Children will be provided their ‘experts digger outfit’ and chip away at
their very own fossil. Plus there will be many more dinosaur activities to take
part in including dinosaur sand art, dinosaur library, fossil displays,
dinosaur activity land, dinosaur sand pit, photographic souvenirs inside a life
sized dinosaur egg and so much more.
The cost of
admission is: $27 and Under 3 is FREE. I think this is a great price for what
you see and experience inside.
• A spectacular dinosaur exhibition with realistic
animatronics
We were first
greeted by a giant T-Rex who moved, blinked and of course ROARED (really loud,
which initially scared the poop out of Madison.) Everywhere you look there are
dinosaurs moving and interacting with the crowd, it was truly amazing and is
crazy how far we have come with technology.
• An Interactive Fossil digging area
That is the line behind the T-Rex head
This was the only
thing we didn’t get around to doing as the line was very long, and we had an
impatient almost three year old. There was no way known she would have sat
there and waited in the long line do dig up some fossils.
• Have your photo taken in a dinosaur egg
Super cute and would
make a great photo, again this was something we didn’t do as it would have
looked a little funny just having Madison in there and not her sister (as unfortunately
Hayley could not make this one!)
• Dinosaur Sand Art
We didn’t actually
see this one, either we are blind or it wasn’t operating on this night- but
sounds great never the less.
• Camp Fire Story Telling
Madison’s favourite
place to be was sitting and listening to the Dinosaur stories. We walked away
and got an ice-cream and she ran straight back here to listen to the store and
sit around the camp fire (which obviously was not a real fire- rest assured
Mummy and Daddies.
• Dinosaur activity land
I am pretty sure
this is where Madison made her wooden puzzle dinosaur, which you can take home.
The super cute mini tables and chairs are surrounded by Dinosaur artifacts and
statues- I loved this as a little resting area J
• Dinosaur Sand Pit
Warning, you will have a
child that gets sand EVERYWHERE- at least we did. I think even now I can still
find sand in Miss Madison’s hair, but that is all apart of the fun!
• Plus so many other dinosaur activities for the
whole family .
My two beautiful Dinosaurs
Including a number
of jumping castles, which are free of charge. Once Madison was on these the
workers (who are suitably dressed in Jurassic Park style get ups) could not get
her off and her inner T-Rex came out.
We had an amazing night and the Dinosaur Adventure’s
will make for a great WINTER HOLIDAY day out! You escape all the harsh elements
of Winter and enter into a world of Prehistoric enjoyment.
