This Easter, get ready for a prehistoric adventure as 14 gigantic, life‑like animatronic dinosaurs return to Derbion. From roaring giants to soaring predators, it’s an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Follow the Free Dinosaur Trail
Visitors can explore the centre and come face‑to‑face with all 14 dinosaurs on the free Dino Trail. Stand beside the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex for an unforgettable photo, watch a Pteranodon move as though it’s ready to take flight, and enjoy a fun photo moment inside a Baby Dino Egg. To take part, simply collect a trail map from the Customer Service Desk and use it to find every dinosaur throughout the centre. Along the way, you can answer five trail questions included on the map. When all answers are complete, return the map to Customer Services to receive a prize, available while stocks last. The entire trail is free to enjoy.
Best of all, The Dino trail is completely free!
