Beyond the special Half Term events, Birdland’s Jurassic Journey offers a captivating expedition into the age of dinosaurs.
Nestled within natural woodland, visitors will track life-size replicas of over 30 species, from the towering Brachiosaurus and swooping Pteranodon to the formidable Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Along the trail, families can test their fossil-hunting skills at the Dino Dig, uncovering ammonites and exploring hands-on activity tables.
Jurassic Journey is not just a walk among giants, but a reminder of evolutionary links – Birdland’s renowned bird collection, including the UK’s only colony of king penguins, serves as a living connection to these ancient creatures.
