From the moment you enter the ferry-themed entrance, it feels like you are instantly transported to Jurassic World. Families can walk through the iconic Jurassic World gates and explore themed environments with life-sized dinosaurs like the Brachiosaurus and Velociraptors.

Highlights include a Velociraptor training area, a science lab with baby dinosaur eggs and (fake) dinosaur droppings you can touch, a fossil-digging station in the archaeological room, and even a chance to sit in a gyrosphere from Jurassic World movies. Children can interact with baby robotic dinosaurs, adding an element of fun to the experience

The exhibit wouldn’t be complete without a towering T-Rex, which provides an exciting, and slightly scary (for some of the younger visitors) finish to the exhibit.
