<\/div>\n

Few things capture a child\u2019s imagination quite like dinosaurs \u2013 those enormous, mysterious creatures that once roamed the Earth. Now, families can get ready for a \u2018roarsome\u2019 adventure when Cradlestone Mall opens its doors to a prehistoric takeover by the Dino World Family Festival this festive season.<\/p>\n

From 27 November 2026 to 10 January 2027, prepare to step into a world where mighty dinosaurs rule. Cradlestone Mall is bringing 15 life-sized dinosaurs and many other interactive experiences and family entertainment across 3,500 m\u00b2 in the mall on three interconnected levels \u2013 with the biggest giants and funfair rides located on the upper parking \u2013 level.<\/p>\n

With Cradlestone\u2019s commitment to delivering entertainment and fun that brings the family together, this whole gigantic dinosaur experience is offered free of charge, with a small R8 fee that goes to the booking platform. Just book your tickets online, round up your favourite people and get ready for a holiday outing that\u2019s pure excitement for everyone.<\/p>\n

Experience the roar of a dino!<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Woolworths entrance, the dinosaur experience will introduce visitors to a collection of medium-sized animatronic and static dinosaurs. With sound and movement bringing the animatronic displays to life, the exhibition offers an engaging encounter and the chance to discover what makes dinosaurs so fascinating.<\/p>\n

Head to the Jurassic giants on the Upper Parking Level, where the adventure takes a seriously big turn. Visitors will step through the gigantic mouth of a T. rex and enter a world of prehistoric showstoppers, including a jaw-dropping 12-metre-long Tyrannosaurus rex and a colossal 20-metre-long Australotitan cooperensis (often simply known as Cooper)!<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a whole lot more fun to be had! Admission includes fossil excavation, inflatable jumping castles, live music and DJs, interactive dinosaur puppets, the Dino Giant Egg Photo Booth, the Dino Photo Booth and photo opportunities throughout the exhibition.<\/p>\n

For those who fancy adding more to the adventure, optional paid rides and activities priced per ride or activity include dinosaur rides, a dinosaur nest playground, Jurassic cars, princess cars, an electric train, a pirate ship, a cup and saucer ride, a live reptile show, face painting and balloon artist activities.<\/p>\n

From little explorers to captivated grown-ups, there\u2019s plenty to see, do and photograph. Bring your curiosity, unleash your inner adventurer and prepare for a roaring family outing!<\/p>\n

Mikaela Potgieter, Marketing Manager at Cradlestone Mall, says that this whole exciting experience is designed with children and the young at heart in mind. \u201cDinosaurs have such a strong appeal to children because they are unlike anything alive today \u2013 they are enormous and extraordinary! Some were bigger than houses, some had fearsome teeth and others had spectacular horns, plates or tails. Dinosaurs naturally introduce children to science, fossils, evolution, habitats and extinction \u2013 and this fascination becomes even more riveting when they can see a life-sized model, hear a roar or watch a dinosaur move rather than simply read about one. Cradlestone Mall is proud to share this magical world with those who love it most!\u201d<\/p>\n
