DINOSAURS ARE STOMPING INTO SCENIC WORLD EARLY THIS YEAR

  • Descend into ancient Jurassic rainforest on the world’s steepest railway

  • Dare to step back in time with Dinosaur Rangers and return a skilled Junior Ranger

Millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the earth. Now they’re back for summer at Scenic World.

From 5 November 2022, Dinosaur Valley will bring the ancient rainforest to life with dozens of dinosaurs arriving earlier than usual due to popular demand.

A must-do family adventure, Dinosaur Valley transforms Scenic World into a dinosaur sanctuary offering a new way to experience the Blue Mountains and have some prehistoric fun.

Grab a dino selfie and trail guide, descend into the Jurassic rainforest via the world’s steepest railway, explore Fossil Alley and the Hatchery, and see life-sized dinosaurs up close in their natural habitat.

Meet dozens of roaring, snarling, moving dinos including Australia’s very own, Australoventator and Minmi, as well as Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, and more. And our Dinosaur Rangers will put your dino knowledge to the test and keep curious minds guessing.

For the first time, your Ultimate Bundle ticket also includes entry to the all-new Dino Play Zone where kids can get hands-on in a fossil-dig area, meet our baby dinosaurs, explore the Dino Jungle Gym and stomp to tunes in the Dino Disco – perfect for kids up to eight years old.

Kids continue the fun at home with Ranger Packs filled with all the essentials such as binoculars, re-usable Dinosaur Valley water bottle, an official Junior Ranger badge, bandana and more.

Visitors experience Dinosaur Valley at their own pace with travel on the Scenic Railway, Skyway, Walkway and Cableway included in the ticket – the perfect excuse for a family getaway less than two hours away from Sydney.

Dinosaur Valley runs from 5 November* 2022 – 29 January 2023

About Scenic World

Scenic World, situated in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, offers a range of experiences found nowhere else on earth – the world’s steepest railway, iconic Skyway cable car suspended 270 metres above the Jamison Valley, the steepest aerial cable car in the Southern Hemisphere, and kilometers of elevated rainforest boardwalks.

Operating since 1945, Scenic World began when Blue Mountains entrepreneur, Harry Hammon, had a vision to transform a former coal mine into an iconic tourist attraction, converting old coal skips and existing rail track into a passenger train, creating what is still today the world’s steepest passenger train. Scenic World is Australia’s most visited privately owned tourism attraction, offering award-winning experiences to over a million visitors annually. Scenic World’s focus on its interactions with the environment make it a unique destination for the whole family. Scenic World is accredited a Green Travel Leader by Ecotourism Australia.
