Both entertaining and educational, the two-week long family spectacular will let visitors wander among woolly mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers, giant sloths, and a range of other animals that roamed the earth over 70,000 years ago - alongside scenery and props to recreate the Ice Age period.

All 40 animatronic creatures will have moving body parts, wide opening jaws, and sound effects that will help immerse visitors in the prehistoric experience.

The event will also host an ice age excavation pit, a mini cinema marquee showing an educational Ice Age documentary, virtual reality pods, and a handful of street food and drink options.

The Ice Age tour has been organised by Weli Cultural Alliance, which brought Jurassic Kingdom to the city last year, and is also visiting Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham, finishing in Leeds in November 2019.
