    "Kids can draw a dinosaur and we scan it and send it into the virtual world.

    "We also have special lights for Halloween as it gets darker to make it a spooky trail too.”

    There’s something to entertain everyone from fairground rides and fun dino performances to an excavation sand pit, a giant dinosaur skeleton head and a walk-through fossil tunnel.
