We welcome everyone to DinoFest. Based on guest feedback this experience is ideal for families and groups with children under-9 years old. We do have lots of grown-up 'Jurassic Park' fans who enjoy attending DinoFest. But if you spend your hard earned money on a ticket, we want to make sure you're aware that the content and experience is geared towards a young audience.

DinoFest is an all weather event and we go ahead come rain or shine. If the forecast is rain/showers, please bring umbrellas, coats, and gum boots. If there are extremely high winds or sustained, torrential rain then we will either schedule an alternative date, or provide a full refund via Humanitix. Follow our Facebook page for the latest event announcements.

You are welcome to bring your original tickets to an alternative date. We provide refunds for cancellations made 24 hours before your session time.

We will provide a refund if requested 24 hours before the event date. This gives us an opportunity to re-sell the ticket. If you are unable to attend on the day due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact us and we will try to facilitate an alternative date for you to attend. In the unlikely event we cancel DinoFest for any reason at all, (e.g. extreme weather conditions), we will provide a full refund.

Adults require a ticket and all children must be accompanied by an adult - exactly the same as going to the cinema, theatre, or a theme park.

We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance via Eventbrite. If you wish to pay by cash at the gate please DM us on Facebook or email contact@dinofest.com and reserve tickets. We are happy to sell tickets on the gate if we have not sold out. However, DinoFest sells out for most sessions, so we strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance.

DinoFest is not designed to be scary or frightening; however our dinosaurs are realistic. We have lots of Under-5's who attend, however you know your child best. Check out the photos, videos, and feedback on www.facebook.com/dinofestival. This will help you make an informed decision if your child will enjoy this experience. DinoFest is held outside, so if the Dino Encounter is too much for your little one, you can focus on the activities or go along the Dinosaur Trail.
