Dinosaur World Live

Dinosaur puppet performance at Dinosaur World Live, West End stage.

Duration

50 mins

Age Limit

Suitable for 3+ yrs

Grab your compass and join a "roar-some" interactive adventure where giant, lifelike dinosaurs take over the stage in an award-winning family quest.

Experience the 2024 winner for Best Family Entertainment, featuring world-class puppets designed by Max Humphries (National Theatre, Royal Opera House) that move with startlingly lifelike precision.

Get face-to-face with an impressive roster of prehistoric giants, including the towering Giraffatitan, the armored Triceratops, and the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex.

Join explorer Miranda in a show where the audience doesn't just watch—they help feed, groom, and tame the creatures live on stage.

Every ticket includes a special 15-minute post-show opportunity for young explorers to step onto the stage, meet the baby dinosaurs, and see the intricate puppets up close.

With a fast-moving runtime and a focus on visual storytelling, it is specifically designed to keep children aged 3 and above fully engaged without the need for an intermission.

The Show

Join Miranda, a courageous daughter of paleontologists who was shipwrecked as a baby on the mysterious island of Mundo de los Lagartos Terribles. Having grown up surrounded by prehistoric creatures, she has traveled to London to introduce her favorite pals to the world. From the gentle, leaf-eating Beatrice the baby Triceratops to the massive, flesh-eating Titus the T-Rex, you will discover how these ancient beasts live, hunt, and communicate. But life on a dinosaur island is never predictable. As the ground begins to shake and a new egg starts to hatch, will you have the courage to help Miranda keep the fiercer predators at bay?
