From Friday, the "Jurassic World" exhibition in Basel will take visitors through an animated 3D version of the "Jurassic Park" film series. Visitors will encounter various animated dinosaurs on the course, from small raptor babies to the monstrous T-Rex.

Anyone who wants to can learn a lot about the animals that became extinct 65 million years ago: How big they were, for example, what they ate, how dangerous they were. The latter plays a role in the instructions of the flesh-and-blood rangers insofar as "Jurassic World: The Expedition" is based on Michael Crichton's successfully filmed revival story.

The exhibition by Universal Live Entertainment, Neon Explorado Group and Animax Designs has now been brought to Basel by Basel-based Act Entertainment after a world tour that included Mexico City, Melbourne, Manchester, Cologne and Berlin. It will be on show here until the end of December at admission prices ranging from 34.40 to 44.60 francs, depending on age.

From Brachiosaurus to Tyrannosaurus

As in the first part of the film series, the tour begins with an encounter with the gigantic Brachiosaurus, which is presented as a peaceful herbivore and bends down towards the visitors with its long neck.

But that's almost the end of the peacefulness - apart from the presentation of baby dinosaurs in the arms of rangers. After passing through the breeding laboratory, visitors move on to the velociraptors, a monstrous new breed, and finally to the Tyrannosaurus rex, which, according to the exhibition scenery, attempts to escape at the climax of the course.
