A new beast will emerge this summer...more teeth...more fun...

Dinosaur lovers – there’ll be a new beast released this summer holidays at Trinity Walk.

Dino Walk Rangers have completed their training and are ready to supervise the unveiling of our new dinosaur for Dino Walk Reborn.

Get ready to meet our new Triniraptor X. Plus there’s a Dino Dig site, free face painting, Thursday storytime and Joe’s Exotic Mobile Zoo on most Saturdays.

Come face-to-face with our Triniraptor X and the babies

Come face-to-face with our giant walking Triniraptor X dinosaur and the two baby dinosaurs this summer holidays for free!

Get amazing selfies and your own videos wihe the big one and pet the little ones – ideal for all ages.

Look out for our specially trained Dino Walk Rangers with the dinosaurs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday here throughout the summer school holidays.

The big Triniraptor X will appear on the hour from 11am and be available to meet for around 40 minutes before a water (and food) break. You may see babies in between these times – or even at the same time.

Times just for guidance and could change:
11am to 11.40am  |  12pm to 12.40pm  |  1pm to 1.40pm  |  2pm 2.40pm

But please note, due to the size of these creatures all times are approximate, for guidance only and could change.

Dino Walk storytimes will be held by the Discovery Dig on Thursdays at 12pm and 2pm with one of the rangers and the babies.

The secure dino holding pens are near Room97 and Timpson and sometimes the dinosaurs will roam in that area – but they may also go on a walk right around the centre as far as Lush and Burger King.

Can’t find a dinosaur when you visit? Ask a member of the Trinity Walk team for their last known location.

The free summer action begins from Thursday July 23 onwards until Saturday August 29, 2026, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Feeding humans

Dino Walk Discovery Dig

Get your little ones hunting for fossilised dinosaur bones in the Dino Walk Discovery Dig area near Give Box, around the corner from Toyland Toyshop and at the top of the main escalators.

Budding archaeologists can grab a brush and start dusting to discover the bones of these majestic beasts.

It’s totally free, but requires adult supervision at all times and used at own risk (please keep footwear on at all times) – see terms further below before enjoying this experience. Always supervise your children at all times.

Dino Walk storytimes will be held by the Discovery Dig on Thursdays at 12pm and 2pm with one of the rangers and the babies.

Dino face painting zone

Kids can enjoy free face painting every Friday and Saturday on events days 11am to 3pm.

Dino-rific options and classics will be on offer thanks to the talent of Donna’s Face Painting team.

Please note this is just for kids – no adults. Or dinosaurs, as the paint doesn’t work on their hides.

Joe's Exotic Mobile Zoo

Every Saturday (and one Friday) during Dino Walk Reborn we’ll have Joe’s Exotic Mobile Zoo featuring an array of snakes, lizards and more.

Find the mini arena under the new Trinity Walk gazebos where a strict maximum of up to 30 children at a time can take part, watch Joe’s show and even touch some of the lovely creatures.

Show times are at 12pm and 2pm every Saturday – except for August 14 when it’s a Friday.

HOW IT WORKS

The event manager will count 30 children into the area for each show, places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Numbers are strictly limited to 30 children, no exceptions. Event manager’s decision is final.

Children only in the mini arena, no adults – but adults can stand right next to the area on the other side of the small white fences and must supervise children at all times.

Kids must wash their hands as soon as they leave the area at the nearby public toilets.
