DinoFest Melbourne (East) at Nortons Park
More than 30 roaring, walking, life-sized dinosaurs, including a T. Rex, will descend on the city for three weeks.
Overview
Two years ago, DinoFest first stomped into Melbourne — and sold out faster than you can say Tyrannosaurus Rex. Now, it's back with more than 30 roaring, walking, life-sized dinosaurs.
This is your chance to meet a Stegosaurus up close, and give it a pat or maybe a bite to eat. Other dinos that'll be keeping you company include a Triceratops, Spinosaurus, Pachycephalosaurs, Ankylosaur and the mighty Brachiosaurus.
In between encounters, learn about the history of the Tyrannosaurus — spoiler alert: it took 100 million years to evolve from a fairly friendly dino that was about the size of a dog to an extremely terrifying predator. After that, go on a dino dig, feel a real dinosaur bone, and get into some dino-themed art and crafts.
DinoFest is happening on Saturday, June 28 and Sunday, June 29, then daily during the school holidays, which run from Saturday, July 5–Sunday, July 20. Tickets, at $28 for adults and $26 for kids, give you a 90-minute session.
