Extinct Express! Dinosaur Journeys (Kent)
Event Summary
Step back millions of years as you board a vintage steam train at Tenterden Town for a pre-historic day out like no other!
Every child will receive a free dinosaur storybook, activity sheet with crayons, and a steam train shaped biscuit to keep them busy during the journey. Then, as the train departs from the station look out for some pre-historic passengers...
During your journey you will meet our baby dinosaurs and their rangers up close as they make their way through the carriages. Children will have the chance to see, learn about and interact with a number of dinosaurs along the way!
Points to Note:
- Dinosaur encounters are designed to be fun, not frightening. However, they do get close to passengers, so please consider your child's circumstances when booking.
