The Dino Adventure
Roar into Adventure at Dino Academy!
Grab your explorer hat and get ready for a prehistoric day of dino-sized fun!
Join our eccentric and knowledgeable palaeontologists as they take you on a Jurassic journey packed with thrilling discoveries. Here’s what’s in store:
Dig Into the World of Dinosaurs:
- Unearth prehistoric secrets and become a top dino detective!
- Learn how to train a raptor (or at least try to!).
- Discover what dinosaurs ate – can you guess who was a meat-muncher and who was a leaf lover?
- Hatch a dinosaur egg (but be careful – it might bite!).
All whilst meeting our Prehistoric Stars:
- Tina the Triceratops – She may be big, but she loves a good head scratch!
- Vernon the Raptor – Fast, fierce and full of surprises (protect that food, because if he sees it, it’ll be gone!).
- Bramwell the Brontosaurus – The friendliest giant you’ll ever meet!
- Trevor the T-Rex – The King of the Dinosaurs, give him a wave… he may wave back!
- Franky the Ankylosaurus – Watch out for that tail swing!
- Pterri the Pterosaur – Big wings, big beak but a massive heart!
Get ready for a day of dinosaur discoveries, Jurassic joy and larger-than-life adventures – because at Dino Academy, history comes to life!
