Your Dinosaur Safari will take you under the shadows of a giant erupting volcano, past spouting water geysers, over running streams, alongside misty lakes and even behind a living curtain of water. Sound effects, thousands of authentic living plants and trees and even a crashing meterorite bring the prehistoric world vividly to life.

A day in the zoo is for all ages and is a real advernture that you may not expect to find in Blackpool. Many guests enjoy this as the treat on the way home as its on route to the M55.
