The GTA Is Getting An Immersive Dinosaur Drive-Thru & You Can Visit This June

A perfect contactless activity to enjoy summer.

The GTA Is Getting An Immersive Dinosaur Drive-Thru & You Can Visit This June

Spring is here and the animals are out — at least, they are at Dinos and Friends, the new immersive dinosaur drive-thru in the GTA.

From June 19 to July 4, families can head to Lime Ridge Mall in Hamilton (and back millions of years) to enjoy a fully contactless experience among these giant, prehistoric, animatronic creatures.

After being greeted by the adorable baby dinos at the drive-thru entrance, you soon meet realistic stegosauruses, velociraptors and even tyrannosauruses who roar and move as you stay safe and comfy in your own car.

Guided by engaging and informative digital audio (and even animal sing-alongs) transmitted through your car radio, this is the ultimate prehistoric safari experience.

But it's not just all dinosaurs — there are also 14 species of birds of prey to see as well as cows, pigs, goats and even furry dog friends showing off their tricks!

While the Dinos and Friends exhibit is completely contactless, you'll still be able to get a good up-close view from your vehicle.

Tickets start from $45 per vehicle (plus tax) and can be purchased from the Dinos and Friends Drive-Thru website. If you really want to make this an experience to remember, book a limo and cruise by the dinos in style.
