More attractions, more adventure: Jurassic Adventure
Laser tag and jungle jeeps are the latest additions to Christchurch’s dinosaur-devoted theme park, right in time for family fun at Easter.
An excited Aaron Keown, co-owner of Jurassic Adventure with Peter Gatonyi, says “The park just keeps on growing.” The laser tag, which takes place inside the popular Raptor Run attraction, brings a new level of energy to the park.
From the staging room, enter the maze and assume the role of good or evil in a prehistoric setting. Become a poacher seeking out the raptors, or a gamekeeper doing everything to prevent their capture.
It’s suitable for birthday parties, holiday activities, and caters to burn off any child’s extra energy, yet works equally well to let out pent-up emotions after a week of hard work and ‘adulting’.
Replicating a slice of QEII’s loved and lost Drive World, Jurassic Adventure’s jungle jeeps allow children to drive full-engine vehicles like they’re on the set of Jurassic Park. The track will be engaging and the experience exhilarating, Aaron adds. “They’ll get to be in control,” he explains.
The ever-popular mini golf and Raptor Run deal continues, with tickets to the maze granting half-price entry to the 18-hole wheelchair-accessible mini golf course.
There’s always excitement and anticipation brewing at Jurassic Adventure, 239A Opawa Road.
