When it comes to the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World franchise, Universal Pictures knows how to bring the thrills. From blockbuster sequels to jaw-dropping theme park attractions like Jurassic World: The Ride and VelociCoaster, they’re always delivering the most realistic dinosaurs—both practical and digital. Even the animated series like Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory on Netflix are packed with lifelike dino action. And the upcoming video game, “Jurassic Park: Survival”, promises more of the same, bringing the prehistoric mayhem to life in first-person action.
But for fans who want to see the closest thing to living dinosaurs, Jurassic World: The Exhibition is the ultimate experience. Promoted as “the closest you’ll ever come to living dinosaurs,” this immersive adventure lets you step into the world of Jurassic World like never before.
The official says, “Board the ferry to Isla Nublar and walk across the massive Jurassic World gates. Walk under a majestic Brachiosaurus, come face-to-face with ferocious Raptors, and get a rare up-close look at the most vicious dinosaur of them all, the Tyrannosaurus rex.”
The exhibition first debuted in London ExCel in 2022. Watch the trailer below:

This exhibition is suitable for all ages and lets guests explore a walk-through version of the theme park, complete with high-tech animatronic dinosaurs like the Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, and even the fearsome Indominus Rex. It’s like stepping right into the 2015 Jurassic World movie, but with less chance of becoming dino lunch.
This summer, the exhibition opened at Manchester’s Trafford Center, where it quickly became a hit with families and dino enthusiasts alike. Now, thanks to its popularity, Jurassic World: The Exhibition has extended its stay until January 12, 2025, giving visitors even more time to enjoy this epic, larger-than-life adventure over the holiday season, Manchester Evening News has confirmed.
