Dover’s very own ‘Jurassic Park’ comes to life with opportunities to train “friendly” dinosaurs, join a walkabout with a giant T-Rex, and to meet and greet some smaller dinosaurs too, all overseen by a team of experienced dinosaur wranglers!
Dinosaur Day comes to ‘Jurassic’ Pencester Park, Dover Wednesday 7 August (10.30am to 3pm)
You won’t want to miss Dinosaur Day in Pencester Gardens, Dover on Wednesday 7 August after everyone loved it last year and the dinosaurs now are coming back!
The event is FREE so just turn up throughout the day from 10.30am to 3pm. Children of all ages will be enthralled by the ‘Dinosaur Safari’ shows at 11am, 1.15pm and 2.30pm, together with a dinosaur walkabout through the town centre at 12pm.
As well as the shows, a host of other dinosaur-themed activities are available for the whole family to enjoy:
- Dino safari park shows
- Petting zoo and photo opportunities with baby dinosaurs
- Walk with the dinos
- Dino activities in the park and at the Museum
- Excavating fossils with the White Cliffs Countryside Partnership
- Creating a clay dragon or dinosaur gargoyle inspired by the medieval creatures of Dover’s Maison Dieu, and help to name a new grotesque.
Dover Museum in the Market Square is also joining in with a family fun day from 10am to 4pm where you can make dinosaur hats and masks and colour in dinosaur posters.
Cllr Charlotte Zosseder, Cabinet Member for Community at Dover District Council, said: “Everyone loved it last year and now it’s back! Dinosaur Day is going to be ‘roarsome’ and a great day out for the whole family. Bring the kids down to Pencester Gardens which turns into Jurassic Park for one day only!”
