Looking for something fun to do with the children these school holidays?

Step back in time 70 million years in Manurewa, south Auckland, to an age when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Meet Toru, the life-size Triceratops, plus Rexy and Diablo the two-legged meat-eating dinosaurs, plus cute baby dinosaurs and 'Big Herb' the plant-eating titanosaur at the Auckland Botanic Gardens this month.

The DinoFest show runs until January 17 with free entry for children aged under two years.

The family friendly event features a dinosaur encounter, children's activities and a dinosaur trail with a life-size T-Rex.

A special guest dinosaur will make her debut.

You can learn about the prehistoric ferns, cycads and conifer trees whose descendants still grow in the gardens today.
