Alongside a giant cinema screen featuring the original Jurassic Park film, guests to the zoo will come face to face with over 45 animatronic dinosaurs and ice age creatures. Live actors will also recreate parts of the film at the event on Saturday, 24 August, providing a unique take on the 1993 blockbuster.
“We were blown away by how popular the event was last year. It’s a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the film. We’re home to one of the UK’s largest collections of animatronic dinosaurs and seeing them alongside the screening of the film, really makes you feel that you are in Jurassic Park,” said Will Dorrell, owner of Hoo Zoo & Dinosaur World.
“This year’s event will be bigger and better than last year, as we have added new dinosaurs and ice age creatures to the park in the last few months. We’ve also got some awesome themed snacks available on the night,” added Will.
