The Jurassic World Exhibition is on show at the Melbourne Museum until October 2016.

Melbourne Museum's Jurassic World: The Exhibition will leave fans of the beloved film franchise shaking in their boots.

The multi-room exhibit, which launched on the March 18, employees breathtaking animatronics to re-imagine a prehistoric world previously reserved for filmmakers.

Inspired by the Universal Pictures' film franchise and created by the team behind the popular Walking with Dinosaurs - The Arena Spectacular, the exhibition received the Hollywood seal of approval prior to production, even incorporating original props from the film's third instalment.

"We wanted to strike the right balance between entertaining and educational, for fans of the movies and also for the people interested in the palaeontology side of things. They can head upstairs to the museum's paleontology exhibit, that is incredibly good," said Melbourne Museum manager, Gordon White.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES NEW ZEALAND/YouTube Jurassic World opens in New Zealand on 11 June.

Each of the robotic dinosaurs are housed in their own enclosures, built to scale and possessing a staggering likeness to living animals.

The exhibition, brainchild of Creature Technology Company, features interactive encounters with a heaving and breathing Pachyrhinosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex.

"The hard part was achieving a believability, a fluid almost dancer-like quality to the robots, so that people forget they're actually robots," said Creature Technology's associate creative director, Philip Millar.

"When you start seeing that jerking motion, you're suddenly reminded that it's all fake - that it's just an illusion. We didn't want that, that's something we consciously tried to stay away from."

The museum's curators and the team at Creature Technology admit a level of "creative license" allowed them to have fun with each of the surreal enclosures.

"Some are true to size, yes, while others are actually a little larger than they would have been in real life," Millar said.

"The great thing about this exhibition is that you get to see the fantasy of Jurassic World that you experience in the films, the excitement and that theme-parkness to it."

"The T.rex is a little larger, (it's) 12.5 metres long, it'll come out and hunt once every four minutes," he added.

Museum manager White said that the exhibition had proven to be one of the museum's most popular to date, with the merchandise and digitally-manipulated family photos a particularly popular selling point.

However while the exhibit certainly isn't for the faint of heart, White said the key for parents with younger children is to try and "know your kids" and whether or not they scare easier than most.

"It's like a theme park, some children will be terrified (of the dinosaurs) and others will just want to go again and again, wishing it was louder and darker. It really depends on the kids."

Two months into the exhibit, the museum had already played host to over 100,000 excited Jurassic World visitors, with plenty more expected before the travelling exhibition relocates to the US in October.

"We'll be curating an entirely new exhibition for the American tour," said Millar.

"We'll have to re-jig all of the enclosures. In Philadelphia, we're dealing with big, old Victorian buildings, unlike this one. There are some (spaces) where you'd have the Triceratops banging his head, it isn't easy. So we're working hard on all of that now."
