Jurassic Creatures - St Kilda Triangle - Melbourne - Review
The dinosaurs have landed in Melbourne and Kate and her dino lovers checked out Jurassic Creatures at St Kilda on Monday and had a fantastic time checking out 30 dinosaurs onsite (some move, some don’t) but they are equally as impressive as each other! They also loved all the dino related activities offered during the event too. A great option for the school holidays. Checkout Kate’s review below and great pics as always. To follow Kate’s little ones adventures, head to their Insta @kateflatman. Thanks Kate x Catherine
Thanks to Andy Day and his fun-filled series Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures + Andy’s Dinosaur Adventures (not to mention a visit to the Natural History Museum while on holidays recently in London) the poppets are absolutely dinosaur obsessed. So I knew a visit to the hugely popular Jurassic Creatures exhibition was going to be well received - and I was right!

Jurassic Creatures, is an interactive walk through event that will captivate young and old alike. The main attraction, the exhibition, allows you to explore a prehistoric world featuring over 30 life-size moving dinosaurs. Children will have fun identifying and posing for photographs with their favourite dinosaurs - or shrieking and running for cover when they let out a loud roar and move in their direction!

Apart from the amazing animatronics show, little ones will love becoming a Paleontologist - complete with an expert digger uniform of white coat and protective glasses - as they chip away at their very own fossil using chisels and chipping hammers. If you ask nicely, you might even get to unearth two!
