More than 20 years after the release of the original 'Jurassic Park' - and 14 years since the last instalment in the series - 'Jurassic World' is scheduled to hit cinemas this week. To tie in with the release, Glasgow Science Centre is hosting a dino-themed weekend on June 13-14 so you can get up close and personal with prehistoric creatures - without the risks of visiting Isla Nublar.
Saturday sees the Royal Zoological Society bring a lifelike, computerised Velociraptor with a penchant for science chat to the party. On Sunday, budding palaeontologists will have the opportunity to meet a real life dinosaur expert and get their hands on an actual dinosaur bone. Other activities across the weekend include themed crafts and fossil-casting - not to mention 'Jurassic World' itself, which will be screening on the Glasgow Science Centre IMAX - Scotland's biggest cinema screen - letting you see (and hear) the overgrown lizards in life size.
Jurassic Weekend, June 13-14, Glasgow Science Centre, 50 Pacific Quay.
