DinoFest Gold Coast Easter 2026

21 MARCH - 19 APRIL 2026

Country Paradise Parklands

It was a huge hit when it last stomped into the Gold Coast, selling-out every show to rave reviews but this easter school holidays, DinoFest Gold Coast will up the ante with even more live-action dinosaurs that are guaranteed to thrill.

DinoFest Gold Coast 2026 will show at Country Paradise Parklands at Nerang during most days of the easter 2026 school holidays from 3-19 April, and the event will run for two special preview weekends on 21-22 and 28-29 March 2026.

The ultimate outdoor prehistoric experience, DinoFest features more than 30 life-size, walking and interactive dinosaurs, as well as brand-new life-like animatronics and dino-themed activities.

While Tyrannosaurus Rex is understandably king of the show, DinoFest also stars a walking Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, Pachycephalosaurs, Ankylosaur and lots of cute baby dinosaurs that can be touched and patted, with in-character rangers who help to make the event a truly unique adventure for families.

In addition to the thrill of a 45-minute Dinosaur Encounter and an amazing new Dino Trail, DinoFest also has a range of educational and highly engaging kids' activities like a Dino Dig, themed arts and crafts, and 'feel a fossil' with real dinosaur bones.

Families are encouraged to pre-book online as DinoFest will sell out faster than a Velociraptor can run!
