An Animatronic-Filled Jurassic World Exhibition Is Coming To Melbourne!
Hold on to your butts!
Hold on to your butts everyone! Next year an exhibition inspired by Jurassic World which features realistic animatronic dinosaurs is coming to the Melbourne Museum.
Judging by the teaser video, it’s going to be so, so good.

Tourism minister John Eren said somewhat obviously today that, ‘This is a unique opportunity to discover what life was like thousands of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the earth… It is going to be an absolute show stopper, and we’ve got it first.”
The animatronics were developed by Melbourne-based outfit Creature Technology Company (who also built the Walking With Dinosaurs exhibition) and apparently the dinosaurs will be placed in “highly themed environments” straight from the film. It opens in March 2016, but unfortunately the exhibition won’t be travelling to any other cities in Australia.
No word yet on whether there’s going to be an animatronic Chris Pratt, but fingers crossed.
Jurassic World: The Exhibition is at Melbourne Museum from March 19.
