Don't feed the dinosaurs...but get up close and personal with them when Jurassic Kingdom arrives at Edinburgh's Lauriston Castle for the Easter break - March 30 to April 15, 2018.

A T-Rex standing 18m from head to tail, a battle between Deinonychus and Tenontosaurus, a 16m long gentle giant Diplodocus and many more dino-mite encounters will greet visitors as they travel back in time over 65 million years.

Snarling jaws, moving eyes, swaying tails and roaring sound effects bring these incredible creatures back to life. And there will also be some rather unusual dinosaur eggs to discover this Easter.

There will also beplenty of photo opportunities for those all-important Spinosaurus selfies.

Family-friendly Jurassic Kingdom will also offer an opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures with an educational marquee showing dinosaur documentaries and fact-filled worksheet for primary school children.

Dinosaurs returning for another bite in Scotland

The dinosaurs cover three key areas including the Jurassic, Triassic and Cretaceous period.

Internationally renowned, multi award-winning palaeontologist, Dean Lomax has advised on the exhibition, provided input into each of the dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptile models.

He said: “What we’ve been able to do is add the very latest information on the interpretation boards with regards to these particular dinosaurs based on recent research and statistics.

"That means when families come to visit, children can enjoy learning something new and exciting based on the latest research around these magnificent creatures from the past."

Full scale models have been built by experts in China and the tour is being run by multi-media experts Weli Cultural Alliance.

The walking tour will last round an hour - depending on how fast you can run, laughed Naz Kabir, Weli Creative's event and marketing director.

He said: “I think almost everyone loves dinosaurs, you just have to look at everything from kids’ books to Hollywood films to see how popular they are.

"They remain one of the great mysteries of history however, so while we may never be able to bring any back to life, we can do the next best thing. That’s what Jurassic Kingdom is all about – fun, adventure, excitement and education.

“The tour was a huge success in Glasgow last year with visitors old and young loving the chance to get up close to creatures that have been extinct for millions of years. We are looking forward to bringing the dinosaurs back to Scotland and to another fantastic setting, which really adds to the overall experience.”
