Among the crowds enjoying the Steven Spielberg film were 12 prehistoric creatures.

The large moving, roaring and water-spraying dinosaurs are part of DinoZoo; a new addition to the zoo which helped add atmosphere to the adventure thriller for the film fans.

A giant tyrannosaurus rex, allosaurus, ornithomimus and the long-necked brachiosaurus were fully operational throughout the duration of the film.

Guests were encouraged to bring fold-away chairs and rugs.

It's such a fantastic idea. I'm a huge fan of the film so getting to watch it while being surrounded by the realistic dinosaurs really set the scene.

– Daniel Williams, film fan

There were two screenings of the film; the earlier showing at 1730 and a later showing at 2030.
