We were joking earlier today that maybe the dinosaurs would come alive and chase us. My son advised us not to wear red or the dinosaurs might think we were meat and try to eat us!
We spent the day at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham where the dinosaurs from Jurassic Kingdom have come to spend a couple of weeks. They are touring round the UK so there’s plenty of opportunities to see them.
I thought I’d share small selection of pictures and video from our day. I don’t want to spoil all the fun, just give you a taster.
These animatronic dinosaurs are very clever and seem very life like. Each dinosaur has an information board with interesting information… Sadly no information of how to phonetically say all of the crazy dinosaur names.
It’s always lovely to spend the day with friends, though the Botanical Gardens was super busy.
Little Missy spent a long time on excavating dinosaur bones and making a sandman. 
All in all a good day. Well worth visiting the dinosaurs!

That looks great. We have a similar thing touring South Africa which I took the girls to last year – the Dino Expo. My youngest was terrified, but my fearless five-year old loved it.

Yes I can imagine it could be pretty terrifying being so little and not really understanding that they are not real!

Fun! My kids love dinosaurs. We saw a small animatronic setup of dinosaurs a few summers ago – one of them spit water on us! I really enjoy that almost all kids are fascinated by dinos – I still am and I’m almost 40!

This is really very cool! We don’t have such a thing nearby here in Philadelphia. What fun for all! I wonder if my twirly-girly girls would enjoy this, or be too scared? #FabFridayPost ❤

I think they’d enjoy! I actually didn’t see any scared looking children, maybe if the dinosaurs moved forward!
