Jurassic Take-Over Day returns in 2025!

After our amazing sell-out event in February 2024, the Jurassic Take-Over Day is BACK with new dinosaurs, new Jurassic areas, new props and all the immersive Jurassic fun as we host the UK’s only interactive walkthrough and theatre experience!

 Come and visit state-of-the-art animatronic life-like dinosaurs in this brand new, immersive and interactive experience for all audiences. This is an unmissable opportunity to talk to a Triceratops, look up to a Brontosaurus, roar with a T-Rex, scream with a Spinosaurus and run from a Raptor!

 Our theatre performance is 60-minutes long and is the UK’s only theatre and walkthrough experience, making it the most interactive dinosaur adventure in the UK! Will you stay seated and watch from afar or will you be ducking and diving alongside our dinosaurs? You’ll have the choice for either, but we do encourage attendees to get as involved as possible as audience participation is a must, and this unique experience has been created especially to accommodate for EVERY type of individual: from the bum-wigglers who can’t sit still, to the patient ones who like to watch every moment – we cover a Jurassic experience for everyone!

 You'll have the opportunity to train as a Ranger (just in case the dinosaurs break loose!), learn about the baby dinosaurs in the Hatchery, take photo opportunities in our Gyrosphere, take selfies with our dinosaur props, watch our specially produced dinosaur show, wander through our unique Jurassic Park and Jurassic World tribute areas, learn about dinosaur skeletons in our paleontology area, chill in our Story Time area (for any little ones who need some quiet time) and so much more with this unique and brand new Jurassic experience.

 And if that isn’t enough we’ll also be introducing not one, but TWO BRAND NEW DINOSAURS!

 There are three 90-minute sessions available to book across the day. Experience times include: 11:00am, 1:30pm and 4pm and it’s recommended you arrive 20 minutes prior to your experience start time. The theatre show will be on for 60 minutes giving attendees 15 minutes prior, and 15 minutes at the end, to wander through our prop and specialist dinosaur areas. Tickets are limited to ensure the very best customer experience, which gives everyone attending the opportunity to meet and great both our large and small dinosaurs making everyone a VIP for the day!
