WATCH: Roaring fun for the kids at Hamerton Zoo Park's Dino Day in Peterborough

A ‘T-rex-cellent’ day of fun is on the cards for dinosaur fans at a zoo near Peterborough this weekend

The special ‘Dino Day’ is being held at Hamerton Zoo Park on Saturday, June 28 – offering fun and games, train rides and informative talks.

Along with the various animal exhibits, visitors can meet ‘Dexter the dinosaur’ and have their photo taken with him – but only if they’re brave enough to get close.

Families can also sit back and enjoy a ride on the dinosaur train, which will be running on the day.
