This fun event is aimed at children aged 2 to 12 and audiences are restricted to 200 to ensure a fully interactive experience.

Be warned – the incredible animatronic dinosaurs are large and realistic, so there is a mild scare factor which you must bear in mind when booking your place.

Once you're in, little ones can check out the mini-museum with real fossils, replicas and loads of fascinating facts.

Head ranger Chris has had a love of dinosaurs since an early age and in 2015 founded Dinomania, a small family-run company, to make children’s dreams come true.

On a weekly basis the Rangers go into primary schools to do dinosaur workshops which bring the topic to life.

Throughout the Covid pandemic the company stayed in the limelight on social media by making funny TikToks and YouTube bedtime stories to ensure that the dinosaurs didn’t go extinct again.

Tickets cost £15 for the event at Alfreton Leisure Centre, with free admission for under twos. To book, go to www.dinomania.co.uk/events.php
