Dinosaur fans, get ready — Adelaide Zoo is going Jurassic for 2025 Illuminate Adelaide
Step back in time and into Universal Kingdom: The Next Era, the latest dino-filled adventure lighting up Adelaide Zoo after dark. These prehistoric party animals are taking over in the most roar-some way!
You’ll meet all your dino faves – from the mighty Triceratops and flying Pterodactyl, to the king of the Cretaceous himself, the towering Tyrannosaurus Rex. And it’s not just about looking – get hands-on in the dedicated kid’s zone where little adventurers can pat baby dinos, race raptors, and dig up ancient fossils like real-life paleontologists.
Expect jaw-dropping puppetry, incredible light displays, and heaps of interactive fun, all brought to life by the creative legends at Erth and A Blanck Canvas.
Proudly presented by Adelaide Zoo, Illuminate Adelaide, and SA Power Networks, this is one prehistoric party you don’t want to miss!
