is rolling into Country Paradise Parklands in Nerang with over 30 life-size dinosaurs that actually walk around and interact, plus realistic animatronics and a bunch of dino-themed fun. It was a sell-out smash last time, and this go-around during the 2026 Easter school holidays from 3 to 19 April (skipping 8 to 9 and 14 to 15 April) they've added even more live-action beasts. There are preview weekends too on 21 to 22 March and 28 to 29 March, because apparently everyone wants to hang with a walking Triceratops or pat some baby dinos under ranger supervision, while T-Rex lumbers about like he owns the place.

Expect a 45-minute dinosaur encounter, a new Dino Trail starring a massive Brachiosaurus, and kid-friendly stuff like a Dino Dig, arts and crafts, and handling real fossils. Its pitched at children nine and under, all outdoors to get the little ones running around in nature instead of glued to screens. It books out quicker than you can say Velociraptor, so grab tickets online ahead. For getting there, try Translinks journey planner for public transport or active travel options. Parking is tight, so use the EasyPark app for meters or check the City of Gold Coast parking page to dodge fines.
