Alice in Dino-Land

I’m not sure how I missed this! Plan to listen to it tomorrow. Am posting here for fellow Dino lovers.

Today we are talking all things Dinosaur. Did they really have feathers? Could they talk to each other? Did a T-rex and a velociraptor ever meet? To answer those, and whatever else you can throw at him, Jesse is joined by Te Papa's Dinosaur expert Felix Marx.

Little Foot was so stoked to be invited to a meet and greet party today! He actually doesn’t get chosen very often so usually only attends charity events. Cera joined him and we all had a wonderful time with training, feeding, head bunting and even threw some tomatoes for the children to catch 😂🦕. Thanks for having us!

Happy 3rd Birthday James, hope you had as much fun as we did! Fossil casting and painted dinosaurs for everyone to take home. Saves you worrying about goodie bags!

Feedback from parents: the most less stressful party we have had to organise. Not having to worry about entertaining the children was great.

Something totally different! Please vote for little Gus, our dinosaur loving dog. He would be a raptor of some type if he was a dinosaur lol! Please share this far and wide - we would be super grateful.

I read somewhere there might be dinosaurs! So I got our tickets for Friday night. Should I bring a baby just in case?

Ducky the Parasaurolophus had a great time this afternoon at a 2yo’s meet and greet. She enjoyed her chin scratches and making children giggle with her silly noises. Stellar came as well and Cera had an earlier meet and greet too. So super busy avo!

Attn Children’s charities: if you’re in chch and ever have a special event where you’d like some baby dinosaur friends to attend….

Please flick me a message so we can chat. I don’t charge for these. They are a nice way to give back to communities who support us.

We have special dinosaurs who typically only come out for these ones 🙂.

Could be a pretty cute Lego kit right…

Three years ago Petri arrived as our first team member. Whilst strictly not a dinosaur… actually a flying reptile, he continues to be one of our most popular guys. He’s kind, gentle, cheeky and loves to play fetch the fish.

Andrews back so morning cleaning up and sorting out trailer for our upcoming parties. We are pretty much booked now for Aug and Sept so only very limited spaces left.
