Dino Kingdom is “bringing dinosaurs back to life” at Wythenshawe Park, with unforgettable interactive experiences and thrilling fairground rides for all the family.
There’ll be 70 life-sized dinosaurs dotted around the park – including a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Apatosaurus, which towers above at 18 metres long – and there’ll also be some smaller dinosaurs to seek out, including hatching babies and other interactive “beastly beings” amongst the woodland, such as crocodiles, frogs, bees, spiders and much more.
