...YOU WILL BE SURE OF A DINOSAUR-SIZED SURPRISE

COLOSSAL dinosaurs will be visiting London Zoo in July.

Visitors to the zoo will be taken back in time to a prehistori­c world where they will come face-to-face with lifesized moving dinosaurs.

From the giant but gentle brachiosau­rus to the towering tyrannosau­rus rex, the dinosaurs will roar at those brave enough to approach.

Zoorassic Park will launch on Saturday July 22, with the help of popular CBeebies presenter Andy Day, and will be at London Zoo for six weeks. Visitors will take a trip via a time machine to the Mesozoic era, where tour guides will help visitors spot dino-faves.

See the triceratop­s standing guard over its nest, or encounter the armour-plated edmontonia, a tank-like dinosaur covered in spikes.

Families will be given their own passports for the time travel safari and will learn all about the creatures, as well as the work conservati­onists are doing to help prevent today’s animals from becoming extinct.

There will be a fun trail for kids to complete, fossil digs to explore and baby dinosaurs to meet.

Normal entry charges for ZSL London Zoo apply.
