Come and step back in time 70 million years this Easter to an age when dinosaurs roamed New Zealand.

Now in its second year, DinoFest is back with more dinosaurs, more roaring and more chomping.

Meet Rexy and Roxy the two-legged meat-eating dinosaurs, baby dinosaurs, and 'Big Herb' the plant eating titanosaur.

Learn more about the prehistoric ferns, cycads and conifer trees whose descendants still grow in the gardens today.

The event is set in beautiful Lake Domain, Hamilton so you can combine dinosaur adventures with a picnic or walk around the stunning lake.

Tickets include a Dinosaur Encounter, kids activities and a Jurassic Dinosaur Trail (meet the dinosaur discovered in New Zealand).

All welcome - the event is ideal for families with children between the ages of 3 and 10 years old.

Free entry for children under 2 on the day of DinoFest.
