Dino Walk

Start: 30/05/2025 · 11:00 am
End: 30/08/2025 · 3:00 pm

After recent excavation work at Trinity Walk, a number of fossilised dinosaur bones were discovered.

Deep under Trinity Walk, scientists have since been working on the DNA extraction process in secure underground labs and have created something.

Three dinosaur eggs were grown and TACT (Trinity Animal Control Team) officers have been trained, ready to supervise controlled public access meet and greets with the animals this summer holidays.

Something’s coming…meet the huge WALKERSAUR-REX and the babies

Come face-to-face with our giant moving Walkersaurus-rex dinosaur and the two baby dinos this summer holidays for free!

The beasts are back for two days this half term holidays Friday May 30 and Saturday May 31 from 11am-3pm with breaks.

Then look out for Trinity Animal Control Team officers and the dinosaur creations every Thursday, Friday and Saturday here throughout the summer school holidays.

They will be out and about at various intervals from 11am to 3pm each day. The Walkersaurus-rex will be out for around 20 minutes per hour near Costa and the babies will be with their TACT keepers in various locations around the centre.

The free summer action begins from Thursday July 24 onwards until Saturday August 30, 2025.
