DinoFest to roar into Melbourne for winter school holidays

28th June 2025 - 20th July 2025 @ Norton Park - Wantirna South

It was a huge hit when it made its Victorian debut in 2023 selling-out every show to rave reviews but this winter school holidays DinoFest will up the ante with even more life-size walking and interactive dinosaurs that are sure to excite.

Families around Melbourne's east will be the first in the state to experience the amazing new DinoFest show to roar into action at Nortons Park at Wantirna South (about 10 minutes from Glen Waverley) for a special debut during the weekend of 28-29 June; and then continue throughout (most days of) the winter school holidays from 5-20 July 2025.

The ultimate prehistoric experience DinoFest Melbourne (East) will feature more than 30 awesome dinosaur species including a life-size walking Triceratops Stegosaurus Spinosaurus Pachycephalosaurs Anklyosaur and lots of cute baby dinosaurs to-boot.

With an amazing new Dino Trail featuring a huge Brachiosaurus and a T.Rex DinoFest Melbourne (East) is a highly unique and interactive outdoor experience-based event that is family friendly and especially designed for children aged nine and younger.

Specialising in Tyrannosaurs DinoFest 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 and truly remarkable Dino Trail 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.

DinoFest Founder Laurence Taylor says Nortons Park at Wantirna South is an ideal setting for the revamped DinoFest experience given its extensive array of plants tree shrubs and grasses.

"Not only is Nortons Park a great stomping ground for our dinos but it is also great for families with FREE parking and nearby spaces for picnics and play before and after the show. It's really the perfect place to transport our guests away from their devices and back to the Mesozoic era" says Laurence Taylor.

"We were blown away by the enthusiasm of Victorians when we first showed DinoFest in Melbourne and now the momentum has reached new levels of anticipation for this even bigger and better showing.

"A special interest in dinosaurs is recognised as a great way to get young children engaged in science. DinoFest is designed to be educational and bust some of the 'myths' created by Hollywood. We aim to inspire a true sense of awe in these beautiful majestic animals who ruled the earth for tens of millions of years.

"We've genuinely considered family convenience affordability and fun yet factuality as key elements of DinoFest" adds Mr Taylor who is himself a parent.

Families are strongly encouraged to pre-book online via Eventbrite as DinoFest Melbourne (East) will sell out faster than a Velociraptor can run!
