A prehistoric blast

Youngsters across the region have been delighting in all things dinosaurs at the Jurassic Creatures exhibition in Waurn Ponds.

The realistic animatronics exhibition has more than 30 dinosaurs and spectacular activities that immerse you in a prehistoric time.

Kids, and adults for that matters, have been flocking to the world full of life-like moving dinosaurs.

Cooper Anderson (pictured), 10, bravely put his head inside the mouth of a parasaurolophus and said he was enjoying the lifelike exhibition.

Jurassic Creatures is on until January 22.
