With lifelike dinosaur installations, thematic zones, and interactive storytelling, ‘Jurassic Journey’ offers visitors a compelling reason to step out and experience something truly unique.

At the heart of the activation are four curated experience zones, each designed to spark curiosity and hands-on learning.

The journey continues across immersive spaces featuring the ‘Meet Your Dino Match!’ trivia challenge, Jurassic Live Canvas (Draw Alive), and a Dino VR Zone, offering a blend of learning and digital engagement. Further enhancing the experience, the village-themed zone brings paleontology to life through activities such as the Fossil Hunt, DIY arts and crafts station, Fossil Gallery, and ‘Bones of the Beasts’ skeletal displays, while experiential highlights like the VR Jurassic Safari jeep photo booth add an element of adventure. Together, these thoughtfully curated zones create an engaging, multi-sensory experience that brings the world of dinosaurs alive in a fun and accessible way.

Adding to the excitement are a host of high-energy activities, including AR photo booths, ‘Dig the Fossil’, ‘Feed the Dino’, and ‘Dino Toss’, creating memorable moments for children and families alike. The experience is further enhanced with elements such as cranes and excavators within the fossil zones, simulating a real excavation site.

A special highlight of the activation is a walking dinosaur, which will roam across the mall, interacting with visitors and encouraging children to participate in the experience zones, bringing an added layer of surprise and delight to the overall journey.

With its never-before-seen scale and highly immersive design, ‘Jurassic Journey’ positions Kopa Mall Pune as a must-visit destination this summer.
