Dynamic dinosaur display: Manurewa, Auckland
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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
