Zoorassic Trail Takeover: An Evening with the Experts
An Evening with the Experts – Working on the Edge of Extinction: When Science Meets Science Fiction (16yrs+)
“What if extinction wasn’t forever?” From Hollywood hype to hopeful habitats, meet our panel of experts that can separate fact from fantasy – from the palaeontologists uncovering the creatures erased from existence to those fighting to defend the species still with us today.
As part of our Zoorassic Trail Takeover, we’re flying in the one and only ‘Dino Don’ Lessem all the way from the USA, exclusively to Dublin Zoo! Don will be leading our panel of experts to uncover the wonders of the prehistoric age. This is your chance to meet the world-renowned dinosaur expert and the original science advisor to Steven Spielberg on the iconic Jurassic Park movie!
For two exclusive nights only, prepare for an unforgettable prehistoric journey with:
-
Exclusive Zoorassic Trail Tour: Get up close and personal with our immersive, after-hours tour led by Zookeeper Brendan Walsh. Discover the world of our resident animals and life-size animatronic dinosaurs that will inspire your very own dino questions.
-
Light refreshments: After your immersive tour, refuel with some light refreshments before entering the prehistoric world with our panel of experts.
-
Expert Panel: Engage with the minds uncovering creatures lost to time and those battling to save the species we still have. With special guest MC - Newstalk journalist John Fardy.
-
Burning Questions Answered: From cloning possibilities – ‘can we bring back dinosaurs like the dire wolves?’, the realities of de-extinction and the behaviours revealed by fossils – no question is too big (or too nerdy!)
-
Merch Madness: Stock up on our dino-mite Zoorassic Trail merchandise.
-
Photo Ops & Autographs: Don’t miss your chance to snag a selfie and autograph with Dino Don himself!
These aren’t just talks – they’re an immersive journey into the golden age of dinosaurs and how it informs modern day conservation. Don’t miss the chance to meet Dino Don and uncover the prehistoric past of dinosaurs with these exclusive events!
