They’ll be amazed by the huge moving, roaring and even spitting dinosaurs encountered while learning about the dinosaurs that still walk among us. Kids, in particular, will enjoy the twice-daily Dinosaur Keeper talks, a cool Fossil Dig activity and getting a selfie on the climbable Pachyrhinosaurus dinosaur. Dinosaurs are included for free with Taronga Zoo Sydney entry.

The Norman Conquests Trilogy

Norman doesn’t exactly look like one of the world’s great lovers. There’s no square jaw or twinkle in his eye. Instead, he has a beard that wanders aimlessly, a penchant for puffa rice and the libido of an oversexed sheepdog. Over the course of one weekend in the English countryside, Norman has a simple mission: to disrupt, inspire and make his extended family happy. Whether they like it or not.

Where: Ensemble Theatre, 78 McDougall St
When: Every day, 8.15pm to 10.15pm until 12 Jan 2019
