You can book a Jurassic Park themed Airbnb stay with its own animatronic dinosaurs

Jurassic Park fans can now book a quirky cabin on Airbnb themed around the iconic films - complete with its very own animatronic dinosaurs.

We're talking some iconic (and terrifying) creatures from the huge T-Rex standing guard outside the property, to the Velociraptor that overlooks the cabin's private hot tub, and other friendlier residents such as a Triceratops and Brontosaurus.

While the cabin may be inspired by the world as it was 65 million years ago, thankfully for guests can have a roaring good time as the property has all of the modern amenities you would expect from a holiday home including a fully-equipped kitchen, an open plan living area with a Smart TV, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Oh, and there are some extra perks too such as an on-site private outdoor hot tub - if you can relax under the watchful Velociraptor in a nearby cage!

There are plenty more fun dino-inspired touches throughout the property from artwork adorning the walls to a children's room with a bunk bed, dinosaur toys and games, and some mysterious dino footprints on the walls.

The quirky prehistoric-themed cabin is located in Skamania County in Washington, USA, and it recently opened up for bookings on Airbnb last year.

It sleeps up to eight people with prices from £1,060 for two nights, which is the minimum stay. You can find out more and book on the Airbnb listing here.

At the time of writing, the USA is open to fully vaccinated UK travellers for non-essential travel such as holiday. You'll also need to show proof of a negative Covid PCR test result taken within 72 hours before departure. Face masks are mandatory in planes as well as airports. Children under 18 are exempt from the vaccine requirements, but will need to take a test within 3-5 days of arrival.

However, travel restrictions can change quickly during the pandemic, so always check the Foreign Office's latest USA travel advice before booking or going on a trip.

Of course if you're looking for dino-themed fun a little closer to home, there are plenty of fun days out to be had.

For example, Paultons Park in Hampshire has an entire Lost Kingdom land complete with dinosaur themed rides and attractions, while Gulliver's Land in Milton Keynes is home to 32 animatronic dinosaurs. Planning a short break in London? Crystal Palace Park is home to plenty of dinosaur sculptures for families to find nestled amidst the trees and bushes.

It's not all about dinosaurs either - there are some brilliant themed UK hotels sure to be a hit with little ones thanks to rooms inspired by everything from hit CBeebies shows to wizards and animals.
