12 Dinosaur-Themed Activities For Dinosaur Day 2022
Did you know that Dinosaur Day is a thing? Celebrated on both 15th May and 1st June, this is a holiday I can sink my teeth into, show me all of the dinosaur-themed activities!
I have a dinosaur obsessed pre-schooler at home and whilst at times I have certainly felt overwhelmed with the sheer amount of prehistoric paraphernalia in my house, it’s also a pretty cool thing to be knowledgeable about, right?
Not to brag, but I can pronounce Parasaurolophus and if that is the only thing I take away from this particular time in my life then I think that is an achievement in itself. We’ve visited Iggy the Dinosaur in Maidstone, and got very excited when a dinosaur footprint was recently found in Folkestone. But now my little dino-hunters are needing some new experiences!
So with that in mind, I’ve put together an extensive list of places in the UK you’ll be wanting to visit, if you’re brave enough!
With over 20 different dinosaurs to discover, Wingham Wildlife Park and their Dinosaur Zoo are an absolute must for your little palaeontologist!
This educational adventure will enable you to learn more about your favourite dinosaurs from the Cretaceous to the Jurassic and Permian periods, leaving no stone left unturned!
Take a trip across three acres of natural woodland, where you will discover facts and interesting information about your favourite dinosaurs and the world they lived in.
For an extra dose of dino fun, why not check out the Dinosaur Playground before your trip to Port Lympne. It’s full of activities such as colouring sheets, games and competitions!
This is definitely a must for your junior knowledge seeker and a fantastic option for the whole family as the museum is full of fascinating exhibitions!
Dinosaurs are just one of the fantastic features of Rascal Bay.
Adventure Golf is always high up on my list of favourite things to do so when I found out that Rascal bay was a dinosaur lover’s dream, well, I was sold!
This adventure is also a great choice for anyone not quite as obsessed as their little ones. It’s multi-themed with plundering pirates and other fearsome creatures to discover, so really, you can’t go wrong!
Affectionally nicknamed Dru-assic Park, this Jurassic Jungle is home to not only a family of Triceratops, but also a spitting Dilophosaurus and flying Pterosaur!
Tell me this isn’t the home of dinosaur-themed activities, I dare you!
Set across acres of natural woodland you’ll find 30 life-size dinosaurs who move and roar – the whole shebang!
Take a trip on the ‘Rex Express’ full of prehistoric surprises before playing palaeontologist at the ‘Dino Dig’. The ideal place for all of your dinosaur themed activities.
We couldn’t possibly have a Dinosaur Day article and not include the iconic Natural History Museum!
The museum takes educational fun to a whole other level with the selection of extras available.
‘Dino Snores’, the unique overnight experience open to children 7 to 11 is currently sold out but well worth adding yourself to the waiting list for.
It doesn’t get much more exciting than a dinosaur sleepover! Unless Andy Day himself decides to make a time travelling appearance. Someone, please remind me to stop watching CBeebies!
With digs to be dug and dinos to discover, this all-weather adventure park sounds well worth a visit!
Meet park mascot, Dippy and his dinosaur friends with live theatre performances before getting active at the ‘Dinomite’ indoor soft play.
You’ll also find a splash zone, raceway and crazy golf! I’m exhausted (but excited!) already!
So that concludes our list of activities for Dinosaur Day 2022. It’s looking like we’re taking a tour of the UK at this rate, at least my three-year-old will be happy!
Have a ROARSOME time, from everyone here at CommunityAd!
Braintree’s right royal weekend
Somehow or other the summer is here, it feels as though it’s somewhat snuck up on us this year as the weather this spring has hardly been inspired. However, it’s here and this year unlike the last the events and communal celebrations shall be unbridled by restrictions or fear of cancellation.
The only place to start when talking about upcoming events is the right royal weekend we’ve all got to look forward to in June.
The 6 February 2022 marked a moment in British history as Her Majesty The Queen became the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, signifying 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom and the Common Wealth. To mark this joyous occasion, events and celebrations are due to take place across the UK throughout the year, culminating in a four day UK bank holiday from Thursday, 2 to Sunday, 5 June to highlight this unprecedented occasion.
Locally there is so much to look forward to as the entire district ready’s itself for a right royal weekend. From Witham’s wonderful window dressed shops, to behind the scenes tour at the Warner Textile Archive where you’ll be able to explore the history of Warner & Sons supplying silks and velvets to royalty. Everyone’s getting involved, they’ll be street parties across the district as Braintree looks set to be covered in bunting!
The jewel in the district’s Jubilee crown will no doubt be the Festival hosted at Braintree & Bocking Public Gardens. The event will host an amazing entertainment lineup including; Miss Disco, Grand Theft Audio, Beans on Toast, Missing Andy, The Tom’s Braggins Trio, Fox Wiggle and Sass and much more.
