‘Real life’ dinosaurs are set to make a return to Hatton Adventure World in Warwickshire this summer, from 23 July to 4 September.

The primeval beasts will be brought back to life using state-of-the-art animatronics, puppetry and SFX. The event will feature Europe’s largest walking dinosaurs, including the Tyrannosaurus Rex, towering Brontosaurus and ferocious Raptors. Visitors will be able to get up close and personal with the dinosaurs as well as learn how to tame them with the Dino Rangers' interactive, fun and educational shows.

Johnnie Arkwright, owner of Hatton Country World, says: “We launched ‘Dinosaurs Alive’ last summer, which was incredibly popular with children of all ages. This summer the event will be even bigger and better, with more dinosaurs and state-of-the-art special effects. Hatton is such a great attraction for families to visit, especially being outside with plenty of space with so much to see and do over the summer holidays.”

Older children can enjoy a full programme of activities, including three outdoor laser combat challenges. Visitors can also feed farm animals, handle exotic creatures, watch falconry displays and cheer on the famous Sheep Grand National. Plus there’ll be tractor safari rides, a funfair and bouncy castles, and a giant indoor soft play area.

Dinosaurs Alive includes full entry to Hatton Adventure World. Tickets cost from £17.95 and all day parking is £2. The attraction is open every day throughout the year (excluding Christmas Day and Boxing Day) from 10am to 5.30pm. For more information, call 01926 843411 or visit https://adventure.hattonworld.com/
