JURASSIC WORLD: THE EXHIBITION

We were lucky enough to be invited down for a special preview of Jurassic World:The Exhibition at the Trafford Centre which following its worldwide success came roaring into Manchester this week, and it did not disappoint! 

We were honestly blown away throughout our journey round Jurassic World and it truly was an incredible experience for the whole family. 

Jurassic World: The Exhibition is a family-friendly exhibit of massive proportions based on one of the biggest blockbuster franchises in cinema history. Visitors walk through the iconic Jurassic World gates, explore richly themed environments, encounter a life-sized Brachiosaurus, Velociraptors, including fan-favourite Blue, and the most fearsome dinosaur of all, the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. 

Guests are able to imagine what it would have been like to roam amongst these breathtaking creatures, interact with baby dinosaurs, including “Bumpy” which the children immediately recognised from the popular animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous which is currently streaming on Netflix.

Following an initial launch in Melbourne, Australia,Jurassic World: The Exhibition, one of the fastest selling exhibitions in history since its launch, has become a global success with over eight million visitors. The exhibition has opened its gates to excited fans in numerous cities around the world such as Sydney, Toronto, Houston, San Diego, Chicago, Paris, Shanghai, Cologne and Berlin.

At the launch we spoke to Milan Rokic Executive Vice President for Neon Global – who are the producers of Jurassic World, to hear a little more about Jurassic World: The exhibition and its journey so far. 

“Manchester is our 22nd city on our global tour and currently, we also have Jurassic World in Melbourne, Australia, and in Mexico City. We had taken this exhibition to London in 2022 and we’re looking at a return season to London in the foreseeable future, but we also would like to expand to the rest of the UK as well. 

It’s a family experience, so it’s from the ages of five through to 95 to enjoy – you know. We’ve had all sorts of people come along, because this movie franchise has been around for 30 years, so we’ve all had different connections with it. But ultimately dinosaurs is something that everyone likes to connect with. So I think that bringing children along and seeing the joy in their face is what it’s all about. 

We own an animatronics company in Nashville, Tennessee, so we create the dinosaurs there. And it takes a lot of work to put these together, and then to make it theatrical, because you want it to be close to what the movie experience is as well.” 

And it was exactly that. We were fully invested in the experience and it’s hard not to get swept up into believing the dinosaurs are real! 

If you’re looking a for great family trip this Summer, then make sure Jurassic World; The Exhibition is on your list.

Sitting is the new smoking

Sitting is the new smoking

Yes, you read that right.

And that is frightening.

Long-term sitting down is now linked to more chronic illness and ill health such as heart disease, lung disease, diabetes etc than smoking is.

The couple who have been together since 2020 have been through some heartbreaking times during their time together, including the excruciating loss of their quadruplets, when Jorgie was 14 weeks pregnant in 2021. Fortunately, the heartbreak only strengthened their bond and they have since announced their engagement and welcomed their first child together in November 2022 – the adorable little Forest.
