We stayed at the incredible dinosaur park with a dino restaurant 90 minutes from Manchester and it was like paradise for kids
A giant Tyrannosaurus Rex is swinging his fearsome, teeth-filled jaws and roaring at my two kids who scuttle past his imposing form. A small wooden gate is all that keeps the looming beast from them, but they boldly sneak past to meet some more of the incredible moving, roaring and even spitting dinosaurs inside Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
There are 35 animatronic dinos across the park's representation of Pangea - the name of the supercontinent when Earth had one huge land mass, before it began to break up during the Jurassic period. No sooner had we taken our seats than thundering footsteps, unmistakably from a T-Rex, rang out across the restaurant. As the kids gasped, the large toothy head of the beast poked out from caves at the very top of the vast dining hall, it was hilariously brilliant.
They even ate every last scrap on their plates, which for two picky eaters was nothing short of a miracle. Tickets for the playbarn need to be booked separately from the wildlife park entry, and cost £8 for ages 3-12, £4 for ages 1-2, and £1 for adults. Uproar! Is open seven days a week. We stayed in a family room with a stunning balcony which looked out right across the wildlife park. We were able to spot a pack of hyenas howling and prowling as we watched the sun set over the park, which was a pretty special moment.
