Sun 25 July 2:30pm Steven Spielberg‘s award-winning dino-spectacular ripped up the rule book for blockbusters in 1993 and things have never been the same since. Welcome to Jurassic Park! Palaeontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neil) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) and mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park home to dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone the facility is safe, the visitors soon realise they are in danger when the park’s ferocious predators break free and go on the hunt.

Dino Dome "Dinosaurs At Dusk – the Origins of Flight" Watch a  free 30-minute film called “Dinosaurs At Dusk – the Origins of Flight” in our Dino Dome between 11am and 4pm. Families will be able to travel back in time through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous geological periods in search of the ancestors of modern-day birds, the feathered dinosaurs. Join a father and his teenage daughter as they travel back in time navigating from continent to continent, exploring an Earth teeming with dinosaurs in search for clues on the origins of flight. Racing against time, they paraglide through ancient skies with Quetzalcoatlus, flee from raptors and traverse deserts with Argentinosaurus. They walk through rain forests, climb ice cliffs, sail over primordial seas and parachute into a huge sinkhole in their search for the first flying birds. When time runs out they even experience first-hand the cataclysmic ‘final day’ of the dinosaurs.”’’ The Dino Dome will be situated on the Market Square and will have Virtual Reality headsets available. These activities will provide a fun and educational opportunity, and will allow visitors the chance to be fully immersed in the land of the Dinosaurs. To view the trailer, please visit...
