Families can met Rex the friendly tyrannosaurus at Palace Gardens in Enfield Town next week

Palace Gardens and (inset) Rex the Dinosaur

A “friendly” dinosaur will be visiting an Enfield shopping centre during the half-term break next week.

Towering at an impressive eight-feet tall, Rex is an “unforgettable sight and a must-see for dinosaur lovers of all ages”.

The tyrannosaurus rex and his ranger will be performing four free shows at Palace Gardens Shopping Centre in Enfield Town on Wednesday, 18th February, at 11am, 12.15pm, 1.15pm and 2.30pm.

Adding to the fun, visitors can enjoy comedy entertainment from ‘Dinosaur Crackers’, a pretend wildlife broadcast unit whose larger-than-life presenters track and observe the ‘wildlife’ roaming the centre.

Also making appearances will be stilt-walker Ella the Cave Dweller, adding some prehistoric flair to the event. Children can also decorate a dinosaur at a Jurassic craft workshop.
