Cassiobury Park will face the ice age as a new exhibition will take place this year.

Animatronic creatures from the ice age period, including woolly mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers, will be on display at the Watford park from April 2 to April 18.

Families will see these ancient beasts from 70,000 years ago come to life as they move their arms and bodies at Ice Age: The Lost Kingdom.

The educational event will also include an excavation sand pit as well as a VR experience, while food and refreshments will be offered on site.

Naz Kabir of organisers Cultent Events, said: “The Ice Age is a fascinating era, not least because it offers such a clear link between the Jurassic period and today.

“Looking at the creatures on display at Ice Age: The Lost Kingdom, it’s impossible not to notice that so many of these animals look like ferocious dinosaurs, but at the same time are obvious predecessors to the elephants, rhinoceroses, camels, kangaroos and big cats we know so well.

“Seeing these beasts come to life is a thrilling experience and we can’t wait to share it with people up and down the United Kingdom.”
