What it is

Auckland Zoo's Dinosaur Discovery Track comes alive after dark with stunning illuminated animatronic dinosaurs, expertly lit to create a truly magical night-time atmosphere for the whole whānau.

Groove along at the Silent Dino Disco in the Dinosaur Tent, enjoy kai from Korimako Café, and experience one of Auckland's most unique school holiday adventures in a whole new light.
