The Dino Squad Express

Returning for 2024, The Dino Squad Express 

​

Come along to the Mid-Norfolk Railway for a prehistoric adventure and get up close to a variety of dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes.

​

Your journey begins at Dereham Station where you will be greeted by members of the Dino Squad and their Rangers. Once you embark on your steam* hauled train ride you will have the opportunity to meet some baby dinosaurs onboard at your table**, before pulling into Thuxton Station - keep your eyes peeled for a very special visitor who will be waiting to welcome you there. More baby dinosaurs will keep you entertained on the journey back to Dereham, where you will then be able to see the big carnivores....... watch out, they might be hungry!

​

Your ticket includes one round trip between Dereham and Thuxton (approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes***) at your pre-ordered time, as well as access to our station and marquee. In the marquee there will be dinosaur activities, photo opportunities and displays, as well as a gift shop. Our tea room will also be open providing refreshments and snacks for all ages, including special dinosaur-themed lunch boxes.
