The Exhibition is suitable for all ages, transporting them through richly themed prehistoric environments and providing an interactive experience with realistic Jurassic World dinosaurs.
Based on one of the biggest blockbuster franchises in cinema history, Jurassic Park, visitors get to feel as if they are in the famous films for themselves as they meet huge moving Triceratops, brachiosaurus, velociraptors and of course the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex.
For the first time in the UK, Mancunians have also been able to witness the armored adult Ankylosaurus, and the ferocious Carnotaurus in the exhibition.
Guests are able to imagine what it would have been like to roam amongst these breathtaking creatures, and even interact with baby dinosaurs, including “Bumpy” from the popular animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous from Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment and DreamWorks Animation, currently streaming on Netflix; and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory – a second series following the events of Camp Cretaceous, just launched on Netflix.
Jurassic World: The Exhibition has now become one of the fastest selling exhibitions since its launch with nearly eight million tickets sold in 22 cities around the globe.
