Don’t be a fossil and sit in front of your devices this weekend. Four life-sized animatronic dinosaurs – velociraptors, triceratops, and 20ft long Baryonyx – will come to life around the Square.
Feeling hungry like a T-Rex? Satisfy your monster appetite at the tasty food truck line-up. From burgers to popcorn, there’s something for everyone. And if you’re looking for something to take home, check out the indoor artisan market, in partnership with Food Truck’N Events. It’s like a dino-mite shopping experience!
Put on your dancing skates and hit the rink at the daily DJ Skate. Dinosaurs meet 90s nostalgia with movie screenings of The Land Before Time (Saturday and Sunday).
Learn more about your favourite dinos at the interactive kids’ show, Jurassic Live (Monday only).

In addition, prepare to be bear-y amazed by the latest addition to the art scene! Ursa Minor, a towering 12-foot-tall infinity mirrored bear by American contemporary artist, Jen Lewin, will also be on display. This bear-illiant sculpture engages onlookers with its colourful flowing and interactive LED light choreography.
So don’t be a brachiosaurus, make sure to mark your calendars for this dino-mite event. It’s time to get ready to rumble in the jungle – see you there!
