Direct from Australia, Erth's DINOSAUR ZOO roars into town with its impressive cast of prehistoric creatures, live on stage. Offering fun days out with the kids, DINOSAUR ZOO opens with a London summer season at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre from 8 August to 9 Septemberfollowed by a major national tour, visiting twenty-two venues throughout the UK until 3 November.

DINOSAUR ZOO creators 'Erth' use ingenious puppetry to bring dinosaurs to life in this interactive and imaginative live show, suitable for all the family (age 3+). Audiences are introduced to a range of creatures from cute baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants, including a carnivorous theropod known as the Australovenator, based on the most complete meat-eating dinosaur skeleton found in Australia.

During the show, intrepid audience members brave enough to get up close and personal with the dinosaurs are brought onto the stage to assist the Zoo Keeper in her daily tasks - but be warned - not all of these ravenous reptiles are as tame as they seem!
