Jurassic Park is about to roar into Joburg for the first time on this scale

Dino-lovers, rejoice! This isn't just any ordinary exhibit, it’s a rugby-field-sized area, featuring a heart-pounding journey into the past where - for the first time in Johannesburg - giant 7m, scientifically accurate animatronic dinosaurs await your family’s discovery. From the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex to the mesmerising Dilophosaurus, Monolophosaurus, Gastonia, and Stegosaurus, prepare to encounter these magnificent creatures in all their glory.
But that's not all – the Jurassic excitement doesn't stop there! Dive headfirst into a world of reptilian revelry with dino-themed rides featuring cars from the movie Jurassic Park, electrifying train adventures, fossil excavations, and an array of stalls bursting with dino-tastic toys and clothing. And for the little explorers among us, there's a playground that'll unleash their inner palaeontologist faster than a T-rex can roar.
