Friendly Dino Mascot Visits
The biggest presence we send, and the one older children actually want a photo with. Pairs naturally with our reptile and dinosaur show if you want the real animals too. Visits start at $165 with no deposit.
The character that still works at seven and eight
Most mascot characters stop landing somewhere around six, when children decide they're too old for it. The dinosaur is the exception. It is big, it has presence, and it gets a reaction out of an age group that has started being cool about costumes — which makes it the one we send to older birthday parties and to school and camp groups with a wide age range.
It also does something none of our other characters can: it sits alongside the reptile and dinosaur show. Book the handler with real animals and the dino as a second performer, and you get a dinosaur theme that is half genuine biology and half spectacle. That combination books out fastest in spring and around school holidays.
The costume is tall. Tell us about low ceilings, tight stairwells or narrow doorways when you book — it matters more for this character than the others.
