After recent excavation work at Trinity Walk, a number of fossilised dinosaur bones were discovered.

Deep under Trinity Walk, scientists have begun the DNA extraction process in secure underground labs and are now working on what they believe will be new prehistoric creations.

Three dinosaur eggs were grown and TACT (Trinity Animal Control Team) officers have been trained, ready to supervise controlled public access meet and greets with the animals this summer holidays.

Now, visitors to Trinity Walk are able to come face-to-face with the giant moving Walkersaurus-rex dinosaur and the two baby dinos this summer holidays for free until Saturday, August 31.
