Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal to host immersive outdoor family experience
From June 26 to September 7, 2026

TORONTO, April 8, 2026 /CNW/ - Jurassic Kingdom, the largest touring outdoor dinosaur show of its kind in the United Kingdom and Europe, is coming to Canada this summer. The show features more than 40 life-size animatronic dinosaurs across three cities: Ottawa (June 26 to July 12, 2026), Toronto (July 23 to August 10, 2026) and Montreal (August 21 to September 7, 2026).

Following a 12-city European tour and previous Canadian events that drew up to 35,000 visitors per city, Jurassic Kingdom returns with its signature mix of entertainment and education.

A must-see family edutainment attraction

Visitors follow a curated trail of moving and roaring dinosaurs set among natural landscapes. Realistic robotic movements, including swaying tails, moving heads and opening jaws, bring each creature to life. Informational panels accompany each dinosaur, blending learning with the experience.

"Jurassic Kingdom is all about bringing dinosaurs to life in a way that's exciting, accessible and educational for families," said Naz Kabir, spokesperson for Jurassic Kingdom. "Seeing children's reactions as they get up close and personal with these incredible creatures is what makes this experience so special."

Beyond the dinosaur trail, the event includes paid and free family activities: a fossil dig pit, bouncy castle, giant trampoline, ride-on dinosaurs and face painting. Food, drink and merchandise are also available on site.
