Life-sized dinosaurs will be taking over The Trafford Centre this summer when a new Jurassic World experience comes to town.

Billed as 'a family-friendly exhibit of massive proportions' and based on one of the biggest blockbuster franchises in cinema history, it will be based in Peel 7 car park, opposite John Lewis, with tickets on sale from today, Thursday, June 13.

Visitors will walk through the iconic Jurassic World gates, explore richly themed environments, encounter a life-sized Brachiosaurus, Velociraptors, including fan-favourite Blue, and the most fearsome dinosaur of all, the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex.
