Shoppers will have the chance to enter a Jurassic World and walk with dinosaurs before heading upstairs with to unveil lost fossils in the Dino Dig Site.

They can then hop into the Puppet Show time machine to transport themselves from pre-history to the future. Once there, kids and families can learn to wield a Lightsaber like an expert in Jedi Knight Training. When the training is finished they can join the Rocket Parade to fly through the store, stopping by ‘Hamleys Zoo’ on the way. Here, kids can meet weird and wonderful puppet animals and take selfies to share with friends and family.
