Question 2

What will a Dinosaur do during their performance?

Accepted Answer

The Dinosaur and Ranger work as a team and will entertain the crowds according to the event and requirements. The Dinosaurs will meet and greet guests with a ROAR, pose for photographs and ‘selfies’, demonstrate 'tricks' they have learned and most of all create a stir and mischievous fun wherever they go! 
We can also do Arena shows for larger crowds to ensure safety. 
For educational visits, our Ranger will do Questions & Answers to help children learn through fun!  Our Dinosaurs have the Pied Piper effect, attracting crowds of people wherever they go.

Question 3

What is the difference between your Dinosaurs and other Dinosaurs I have seen?

Accepted Answer

Our Dinosaurs have been built to a bespoke specification, with the latest technology, and are the most realistic Dinosaurs available to hire in the UK today. They are lifelike in colour, size, appearance and movement. Our dinosaur operator's legs are cleverly hidden to ensure the magic remains for children of all ages.

In addition, our Dinosaur Operators are extremely skilled puppeteers and our Dinosasur move and react like a 'live' Dinosaur would.

Without bragging too much, our dinosaurs are the most realistic and authentic looking dinosaurs in the UK! So much so, they have been chosen for numerous TV appearances, Museum events, Festivals and School visits.

Question 4

What space is required?

Accepted Answer

Our Dinosaurs range in height, length and width from 5 metres to 8 metres long , and from 2 metres to 5 metres high and 1 metre to 2 metres wide. 
Our props are various sizes.
Please check when booking that they will fit in your space.

Question 5

How safe are the Dinosaur costumes?

Accepted Answer

Our Dinosaur Operators are fully trained in operating the Dinosaurs, and our Rangers will guide the dinosaurs around the area and ensure they stay safe. 
On arrival, the operators will walk around the venue to establish safe areas for working. 
A cordoned off area of minimum 10m x 10m may be required for larger busy events, such as Festivals, Shopping Centres and Fun Days. An information sheet and risk assessment will be provided on booking the Dinosaurs.

Question 6

My children are only young, should I hire the Baby Dinosaurs instead?

Accepted Answer

Children of all ages adore our large Dinosaurs! We recommend hiring the baby dinosaurs as an add-on, so that children can meet our babies as well. 
Our handheld Baby Dinosaurs are simply adorable and a great introduction for smaller children who might be too shy to meet our larger Dinosaurs.

Question 7

Our venue is upstairs, can we still hire Dinosaurs?

Accepted Answer

The Dinosaurs cannot walk up a full flight of stairs.
If the stair case is sufficiently wide, our operators may be able to lift our Dinosaurs to an upper floor for a performance. Please be aware the Dinosaur will need a hidden area out of view so the operator can prep prior to performance. 
Dinosaurs need a flat performance area to walk around, although normal gradients and one or two wide steps are fine.
