New attraction where you can ‘walk among dinosaurs’ is coming to a UK city – and kids will love it

A HUGE new dinosaur-themed attraction is launching in the UK next summer.

The new immersive attraction will open at the Lightroom - a space for artist-led shows near London King's Cross train station.

Visitors will be invited to enter the world of Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs.

Through the use of captivating storytelling, state-of-the-art visuals and groundbreaking technology, guests will see the role dinosaurs played in shaping the world 66 millions years ago.

Huge TV screens will play scenes from seasons one and two of Apple TV+’s Emmy Award-nominated series Prehistoric Planet.

Dinosaur-obsessed kids will be able to see some of their favourite ancient beasts, like a Tyrannosaurus rex, Mosasaurs and Adaltheriums, on digital screens.

Visitors will be able to travel alongside their favourite dinosaurs through desert landscapes, skies and the deep sea.

The new exhibition will also feature never before seen material, including extended CGI scenes and illustrations.

Mike Gunton, Executive Producer of Prehistoric Planet and BBC History Unit Creative Director, said: "I always imagined Prehistoric Planet as like stepping into a time machine and travelling back to the time when dinosaurs ruled Planet Earth.

"The Lightroom experience will be just that! There’s nowhere else where you can be surrounded by the most amazing animals to have ever lived - see them all life-size, and really close-up, watch their dramatic lives unfold and understand what life was like 66 Million years ago.

"For a wildlife filmmaker, it’s a dream come true."

Even though it's going to feature some of history's most formidable beasts, the new attraction will be suitable for all ages.

Tickets cost £25 for adults and £15 for kids, with group discounts and educational rates also available.

The Lightroom is located inside the Coal Drops Yard - a shopping complex and public space in London King's Cross.

There is one exhibition currently taking place at the Lightroom, The Moonwalkers: A Journey With Tom Hanks.

However, this will end its run on November 10, with Vogue: Entering the runway opening on November 13.

There are plenty of things to do in the King's Cross neighbourhood like the British Library.

King's Cross Station even nearly became an airport in the 1930s - here's why it never happened.

There are plenty of other immersive experiences taking place across the UK too, including The Outernet.

Despite only opening in November 2022, the new experience has become London's most-visited tourist attraction.

Located just a mere one-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road tube station,  is a set of buildings with interactive, floor-to-ceiling screens.

At the heart of it is the complex is the Now Building, where visitors will find huge screens displaying interactive images and atmospheric surround sound.

Meanwhile, ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure in Norfolk is set to open a new land in 2026.

Gigantosaurus Land will be based on an animated series of the same name, which currently streams worldwide on services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney Plus.
