The Jurassic period returns to London this Christmas as Dinosaur Zoo plays a limited season at the Phoenix theatre.

The family show, which delighted young audiences at the Regent’s Park Open Air theatre in summer 2013, uses ingenious life-size puppetry to bring to life a range of dinosaurs, from baby dinos to teeth-gnashing giants, giving children the opportunity to discover all about the pre-historic creatures in an imaginative live show.

Created by Australian company Erth, the production also features opportunities to get up close and personal with the ancient creatures both during and after the show.

Combining entertaining humour with adventurous daring and informative learning, Dinosaur Zoo is suitable for children aged three and older.
