Jurassic Nights in June

Overview

The Melbourne Museum is staying up late, giving you extra time to walk with the dinosaurs from the smash-hit Jurassic World exhibition. The museum will operate with extended hours on Friday nights throughout June, when the dinos will be joined by local DJ Jess McGuire and bartenders serving prehistoric cocktails.

The blockbuster exhibition — which features jaw-dropping animatronic dinosaurs courtesy of special effects wizards Creature Technology — has been a big hit for the museum, receiving more visitors in its opening month than any exhibition before it. And honestly, once you've seen the life-size T. rex up close, it's easy to see why it's been so popular. Assuming you're one of the few people who has yet to check it out, this nocturnal program is your perfect chance to do so. Tickets can be booked in advance via the Melbourne Museum website. The bar opens at 6pm.
