You can meet these lifelike walking dinosaurs, including a tyrannosaurus rex, when Dinomania comes to town!

A fun-filled dinosaur experience will be coming to Swindon this July and tickets are on sale now.

Aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 14, the Dinomania event will take place on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th July 2021.

It will be hosted at:

Kingsdown School,

Hyde Road,

Swindon

SN2 7SH

But be warned… These incredible model dinosaurs are large and realistic, so there is a mild scare factor. Please keep this in mind when booking your place.

Once you’re in, little ones can check out the mini-museum with real fossils, replicas and loads of fascinating facts.

The exhibit includes items from all your favourite dinosaurs, like the T-rex, Spinosaurus, Triceratops, and Allosaurus along with other dinosaurs. If you don’t know, just ask your kids.

They even have some marine reptiles and prehistoric creatures. So there is plenty packed in to these two-hour slots, which will take place three times on the day.

The event times are 10am, 12:30pm and 3pm.

This new approach was a result of Covid. Ranger Chris and the team had to figure our the best way to deliver their theatre style show, but limit numbers to 100 tickets available per session to ensure social distancing was adhered to.

Those in attendance will be able to speak with Chris and the other rangers from Dinomania, who will teach you and your children everything you need to know about these amazing creatures.

Meet and greets will be available for the baby dinosaurs held by rangers. You’ll be introduced to a Trixie the baby Triceratops, Nibbles the baby Raptor, a baby Brachiosaurus and even a cheeky Pteranodon.

Any brave Jurassic Park enthusiasts can meet the bigger, lifelike walking dinosaurs, including Ronnie the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Nancy the Raptor and  Little Al, the bigger than life Allosaurus.

Dinomania and the magical egg show, a production that was made during lockdown will take place on a big screen, and guests can even take part in the dinosaur workshop hosted by Ranger Chris.

Dinomania travels around many schools, libraries and museums all over the UK teaching adults and children about dinosaurs.

It also boasts a huge following on social media including over 1.4million TikTok followers and nearly 400,000 subscribers on YouTube.

Social distancing will be encouraged at all times, masks must be worn by everyone aged 11 or over (In line with current government guidance – subject to change).

On entry and exit you will be asked to use the hand sanitiser provided and there will be a NO TOUCHING rule on all displays.

All participants aged 2 and over will require a ticket, including adults. Tickets are £15pp.

Children under two-years-old are free.

Tickets for the event are non-refundable, but include a Covid guarantee.
