Parklife Oxford Street, a temporary public space in the heart of the West End, will be transformed to become a Jurassic forest populated with 24 life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs including kids’ favourites T-Rex, triceratops, diplodocus and stegosaurus. Children will be able to dig for dinosaur bones, design a dinosaur on a touch screen, run down an interactive track to leave dino footprints and put themselves in a virtual prehistoric aquarium using green-screen technology.
