dinos at the zoo @ werribee open range zoo

Dino’s at the Zoo is BACK from the Jurassic times and ready to rule the earth once more!

As you enter the Zoo, follow the signs and footprints towards the Werribee River Trail. Through the Dinos at the Zoo gates, you will find the home of some very familiar creatures! DINOSAURS! Roaar!

These life-sized animatronic dinos are motion sensor activated and can give you a bit of a jump scare, adding to the whole experience. We love the ‘docile dino’ (quiet time) time from 9-10am each day - great for kiddos that don’t dig loud noisy dinosaurs!

There's also a researchers tent to explore, with 2-way radios, scientific notes and even a gigantic dinosaur bone! You can also join in the big Dino Dig near the tent and identify dinosaur footprints in the mud using the Footprint ID. Fun!

If your little dino explorers are in need of a feed, the Dino Kitchen opposite the village kids playground have a Dino Munch Box that the kids love! It includes either a sandwich and apple or chicken nuggets and chips, plus a dinosaur cookie that the kids can decorate. Roarsome fun!

This is only on for a limited time - so if you have some dino crazy kiddos - it is a great little outing for the school holidays and beyond!

And for a limited time - head to DINO’S AFTER DARK! Only on until April 14.

You will get to see the dinos lit up in a stunning light show!
