Plans revealed for 54,000 sq ft DinoFalls golf attraction at TraffordCity
Plans have been revealed for a new dinosaur attraction at TraffordCity.
Work is underway on DinoFalls, a prehistoric-themed adventure golf course featuring life-sized moving dinosaurs, boulders, caves and a three-metre waterfall feeding into a river and lake.
The 18-hole course will be threaded with ‘fossil’ paths and decorated with over 500 plants, from palm trees to shrubs.
Among the creatures on site, some of which will be up to six metres tall, will be a pterodactyl that sprays water.
The attraction will occupy almost 54,000 sq ft next to the M60 at Trafford Golf Centre.
Trafford Golf Centre’s director of golf, Pete Styles, said: “This is exciting news for Manchester and we’re expecting this to be one of the busiest adventure golf sites in the UK.
“DinoFalls will cater for the ever-growing leisure market in TraffordCity providing a memorable and fun activity for families, couples, children’s parties and corporate and school groups.”
He added: “With the backdrop of ChillFactore behind us, and the incredible Jurassic setting being created next to the M60, this will certainly be one of Manchester’s most eye-catching attractions.”
Trafford Golf said around 70 tonnes of artificial rock and 340 tonnes of concrete are being shipped to the site to create DinoFalls.
The attraction will incorporate educational elements, with two rooms available for school classes or parties and fact-finding activities teaching youngsters about dinosaurs and prehistory.
DinoFalls will open this Autumn.
