Dublin Zoo’s new Zoorassic trail allows visitors to walk among dinosaurs!
Dublin Zoo is excited to announce that Zoorassic Trail, an immersive animatronic dinosaur experience for the whole family, will open to the public on the 12th of March 2025. Zoorassic Trail is set to showcase over 40 of the world’s most realistic animatronic dinosaurs, bringing these prehistoric creatures to life like never before. This immersive experience will also feature a range of incredible interactive elements, from giant dinosaur eggs that curious children can climb inside to nesting sites filled with dino eggs. In total, the exhibition will showcase 60+ rare and prehistoric-themed pieces, creating an unforgettable journey through time for visitors of all ages.
The Zoorassic Trail experience has been created by Dublin Zoo in collaboration with Dino Don, Inc., whose CEO ‘Dino Don’ Lessem was a science advisor to Stephen Spielberg on the original Jurassic Park film as well as to Universal and Disney theme parks. The dinosaurs that visitors will see at Dublin Zoo aren’t your average dinosaurs. They have been created by Dino Don, Inc. under the supervision of palaeontologists to ensure the highest level of scientific accuracy. This super-accurate animatronics move, roar and breathe like the real thing. Highlights include a towering Brachiosaurus of over 65 feet high, a 40-foot-tall T. rex, and a Triceratops the size of an ice cream van!
Dr Christoph Schwitzer, Director of Dublin Zoo, said: "We’re on a mission to cultivate the next generation of conservationists, whose efforts can help prevent today’s species from suffering the dinosaurs’ fate of extinction.”
‘Dino Don’ Lessem, CEO of Dino Don Inc., said: "At Dino Don, we pride ourselves on creating the most accurate representations of dinosaurs you’ll find anywhere on the planet, so we’re confident Zoorassic Trail at Dublin Zoo will be a jaw-dropping experience for visitors. Having advised on the Jurassic Park films, I’ve spent my career bringing dinosaurs to life, and I can’t wait for visitors in Ireland to experience them up close in this truly immersive and unforgettable setting.”
