Life-size roaring, spitting and snarling dinosaurs are to invade a Birmingham park this weekend.

Visitors can turn a corner and find a Triceratops hiding among the trees.

Look up for the heads of Diplodocus, 16 metres above the ground – and see Pterosaurs will fly over with ear-piercing screeches.

Beware the spitting defence of the Dilophosaurus, which you might remember from the first Jurassic Park film.

And of course there will be the King of the Tyrant Lizards, Tyrannosaurs Rex standing 18 metres from head to tail.

Jurassic Kingdom: Where Dinosaurs Come To Life will be at Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston from May 20 to June 4.

The event begins in London on April 1 in Osterley Park and then travels around the country to Birmingham as well as Bristol, Manchester, Blackpool, Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds.

More than 30 animatronic life-size dinos will move, except for the T-Rex skeleton which lurks just beneath the surface, waiting to be discovered by budding archaeologists.

Director David Lee says: “Jurassic Kingdom will be an incredible, awe-inspiring dinosaur experience like no other.

“It’s the first outdoor animatronic display of its kind in the UK and we can’t wait to open our doors to the public in 2017.

“We’ve seen through our work on Magical Lantern Festival that there’s a huge demand for unique, family-friendly events in the UK. We’re certain that adults will enjoy Jurassic Kingdom just as much as their children.”

Jurassic Kingdom will arrive in Birmingham just before Dinosaurs in the Wild makes its UK debut at Birmingham NEC. This show will also have animatronics but will be inside with special effects, running from June 24 to August 25.

Tickets will go on sale on April 1 here costing from £9.50 for children and £11.50 for adults.
