Families flock to brand-new Dinosaur Adventure in Abergele!

The exhibition, which will run on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays until September 4, is the largest dinosaur experience in the whole North West, and features more than 20 life-size animatronic favourites.

Among the dinosaurs to terrify and excite the first visitors were the eponymous T-Rex, pack-like velociraptors, pterodactyls, two huge brachiosaurus and the spiked stegosaurus.

The Adventure features a number of activities for the entire family to revel in, including a ‘Dino Crafts’ area involving fossil sediment.

A ‘Fossil Search’ and ‘Fossil Casting’ area invites children to discover dinosaur remains themselves from a sand deposit before learning more about their findings.

The ‘T-Rex Encounter’, not to be confused with the majestic beast’s own area, allowed visitors to get up close and personal to the deadly carnivore, while the ‘Explorer’s Trail’ involved sharing one’s findings to earn prizes.

One of the main spectacles was a ‘How To Train Your Dinosaur Show’, where an expert shows off tricks with a moving dinosaur as crowds surround them and enjoy, and the ‘Big Dig’ tent is a giant sand pit whereby children can search for dinosaur remains.

A highlight of the launch was the ‘Abra-Ca-Dino Magic Show’, where magician Andy entertained the crowds with tricks and comedy, while the ‘Dino Nursery’ proved popular, giving children and adults the chance to meet baby dinosaurs.

The dinosaurs had made a long journey prior to arriving at their new Abergele home, travelling from Shanghai, China, via Singapore, Egypt and Rotterdam, The Netherlands, before landing in Suffolk and travelling up to North Wales.

Tickets for the event start at just £10.95 each, and offer a day full of fun for the family.
