Expo Jurasico, which is billed as the biggest and best touring dinosaur exhibition in Europe, roars into life this weekend in the island capital of Arrecife as it visits Lanzarote for the first time.

Featuring large scale working animatronic models, as well as skeletons and lots of other dinosaur related displays this family friendly event is being staged in the Centro Commerical Arrecife, where it will occupy some 1500 metres square of floorspace from Saturday the 12th through until the 27th of September.

The exhibition has already toured most of mainland Europe and is designed to educate and stimulate as well as entertain, placing popular dinosaurs such as Triceratops and Tyrannosaurs Rex in an approximation of their natural scenery and habitat.

Expo Jurasico is open daily from 17.00 to 21.00, as well as from 11.00 to 14.00 at weekends and admission costs €6.
