You step off the North Shore promenade into a dimmed theatre where the air carries the low rumble of prehistoric roars and the excited chatter of families. Ranger Davey greets the room and, within minutes, lifelike dinosaurs stalk the stage — a Velociraptor darts past, a baby dino tilts its head, and a Triceratops fills the space with theatrical presence.
