WARNING: GIANT DINOSAURS SPOTTED AT HEALESVILLE SANCTUARY

Get ready to stomp, roar and time travel on a Jurassic journey because Dinos Lost Sanctuary returns to Healesville Sanctuary.

This ultimate outdoor dinosaur experience gives visitors of all ages the chance to see giant, prehistoric animatronic reptiles up close in natural habitats among the trees.

Dinos opens to the public at Healesville Sanctuary on Saturday April 18th and is FREE with admission until the end of the winter school holidays [July 12].

Step back in time in a hidden part of natural bushland off the beaten track. Explore the windy paths as the dinosaurs become bigger and bigger.

Hear daily talks on how we care for our majestic Brachiosaurus and terrific T.rex. You may even get lucky enough to see our keepers release our young dinos into the wild!

Curious little ones can play inside the dome bubble Dino Egg Hatchery, while parents can refuel with a convenient coffee station nearby.

Whether you're a budding paleontologist or a fearless dino-trainer, there’s something for everyone.
