Excellent place, my child loved it, loads of dinosaurs, very exciting surroundings, wome of them move and make noises. Very believable and my child was fulky engrossed It would be five stars, but its misleading a standalone place. It is not, it is part of the zoo, and you uave to buy a zoo ticket to visit. I am anti zoo (prison for animals, unless conservation) and after driving 40 mins and my child being excited I had no choice but to pay for a zoo emtry ticket. They should make this clear that it is part of the zoo and you pay for a zoo ticket

Dinosaur Safari at Blackpool Zoo is a must-see! The life-sized dinosaur models are incredibly realistic and set in a lush, natural environment. It's both fun and educational, perfect for kids and adults alike. A fantastic addition to the zoo experience!

There's a plane in this dinosaur themed area. What does this imply? Have we encountered an unchartered dinosaur island which exists in the modern day? Did the plane enter a time vortex that landed it in the Cretaceous period? Maybe all that matters is the [animatronic] friends we made along the way.
