Dinos at the Zoo at Healesville Sanctuary


  • Healesville Sanctuary (map)

Get up close to life-sized dinosaurs in a setting like no other! Let your imagination run wild as you explore a new trail of animatronic dinosaurs coming to life before your eyes for a limited time only.

There's plenty to keep both big and little dino-lovers entertained:

  • Join a guided walk through the dino trail and learn all about the prehistoric animals

  • Become a palaeontologist at the Dino Dig in Nature Trail and brush away sand and uncover hidden treasures – dinosaur bones!

  • Delight your taste buds with our exclusive menu featuring dino-themed kid's lunch pack and Ben & Jerry's dino-themed ice cream

  • Visit the Sanctuary Shop for a prehistoric souvenir

  • Plus, check out all the play spaces located around the Sanctuary for extra play time

Sensory Friendly - Please note that the Sanctuary will have Dino Doze every day from 9am to 10am, which offers a low sensory experience with no dinosaurs moving or making noises.
