DinoFest Canberra - Age of the Tyrannosaur

Overview

Families are in for a roarsome experience when more than 30 huge dinosaurs stomp into Black Mountain Peninsula at Acton for Canberra’s first-ever showing of the ultimate outdoor dinosaur event that has been taking Australia by storm.

With life-size, real walking and moving dinosaurs, DinoFest will show at Black Mountain Peninsula from 11 January to 2 February 2025.

Specialising in Tyrannosaurs, DinoFest Canberra – Age of the Tyrannosaur tells the story of how Tyrannosaurs grew from small dog-sized dinosaurs to become the world’s most fearsome predators over the course of 100 million years.

While T. Rex is understandably ‘king of show’, DinoFest will also showcase a range of other popular dinosaurs that attendees can touch, pat, and interact with in a way that is deliberately designed to engage young children as a magical and life-long memorable experience.

In addition to the thrill of a 45-minute Dinosaur Encounter with many walking and interactive dinosaurs, DinoFest also includes a Dinosaur Trail with more than 30 dinosaurs en route including a life-size T. Rex. The ultimate dinosaur experience also has a range of educational and highly engaging kids’ activities like a Dino Dig, themed arts and crafts, and “feel a fossil” with real dinosaur bones.

Families are strongly encouraged to pre-book online as DinoFest Canberra will sell out faster than a Velociraptor can run!
