DINOSAUR fans will have the opportunity to get up close to life-sized tyrannosaurus rex, triceratops and diplodocus when the Jurassic Kingdom tour comes to Glasgow next month.
Taking place in the Botanic Gardens, the UK’s first outdoor animatronic dino-tour will feature 30 full-scale prehistoric creatures complete with teeth, swivelling eyes, swaying tails and spine-chilling sound effects.
Visitors can explore the leafy space in search of their favourite dinosaurs from the Jurassic, Triassic and Cretaceous periods.
Activities include an excavation site where youngsters are able to get hands on as they dig to unearth a T-rex fossil.
There is also immersive virtual reality headsets packed with digital dinosaur experiences and plenty of photo ops for those all-important toothy selfies with these bygone giants.
Jurassic Kingdom takes place at the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow from August 26 until September 10, open daily, from 10am to 6pm. Tickets start from £11.50 (adults), £9.50 (children) and £38 (family).

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
