A trail of 50 life-sized animatronic dinosaurs has opened its doors to the Bristol public as planned today (Saturday, October 15) despite a fire on site earlier this week. Reminiscent of something out of Jurassic Park, visitors will walk a "perilous path" through the Ashton Court Estate, coming face-to-face with the noisy prehistoric beasts in and amongst the trees.
However, visitors have been advised to avoid driving to the event if they can help it, following reports of queues earlier today. Organisers posted on Facebook this afternoon: "PARKING NOTICE: Ashton Court Estate has limited parking for about 150 cars.
"We clearly state on our website that we are an environmentally friendly event and prefer that our visitors use public transport or get dropped off and picked up if possible. We run the event, we are not responsible for Ashton Court Estate or for parking.
