Worth a trip to Leeds just to lay your eyes on it. Truly remarkable.
Disappointing it didn’t have jaws. It’s just a dead tree, was expecting it to be a nest for real velociraptors.
Maybe not suitable for younger audiences as it was quite scary even for me (28y/o) 10/10 would see again!
Strongly advise booking as it gets incredibly busy
Wonderful
