Summer at Dinosaur World: Hot-Day Tips and Holiday Hours

Summer holidays are one of our busiest and best times of year. Here’s everything you need to know to plan a cool, comfortable visit.

Holiday hours

We’re open every day of the Victorian school holidays, and on public holidays, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

WhenHours
Fridays (school terms)10am – 3pm, story time at 11am
Saturdays & Sundays10am – 4pm
School holidays & public holidaysOpen every day
Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s DayClosed

There’s no Friday story time during the school holidays, but Bedrock mini golf runs on holiday Fridays.

On very hot days

On days of 34°C or more, we may close early at 2pm. Our advice: come early. Mornings are cooler, quieter, and the dinosaurs are just as roarsome.

Hot-day tips

  • Arrive at 10am to enjoy the cooler part of the day.
  • Stick to the shade. Our dinosaurs live among the Christmas trees, so most paths are well shaded.
  • Head indoors. Bedrock mini golf is indoors, and Dig & Discover is undercover — perfect for the hottest part of the morning.
  • Cool down with a treat. Grab an ice cream or a scoop of Bedrock Gelato, plus cold drinks from our kiosk.
  • Pack the basics: hats, sunscreen and full water bottles for everyone.

Before you leave home

If the forecast is very hot, give us a call on (03) 5977 3018 or check our Facebook page for any changes to the day’s hours.

See you this summer! Tickets are sold at the gate — no booking needed.
