COLCHESTER Zoo is set to be taken over by dinosaurs as part of a roar-some new event at the attraction.

This September, the Maldon Road zoo is being transported back in time to the dinosaur age.

Dino fans will get the chance to meet real life T-Rexs, velociraptors and stegosauruses' during their visit to the zoo.

The dinosaurs will walk amongst visitors with their experts rangers, and be available to meet at the elephant bush walk over the weekend.

You can see them at intervals between 11am and 4pm on September 18 and 19.

Meeting the dinosaurs is included with entrance to the zoo over the weekend and no extra tickets are needed.
