GUESTS to Blue Reef Aquarium at Hastings were wowed by a huge four-metre dinosaur and its baby siblings.

Pete the animatronic Tyrannosaurus Rex was a huge success with visitors who filled the Rock-A-Nore Road attraction eager to get up close and personal with the beast.

Alongside Pete were a host of baby dinos - Alan the lazy Velociraptor, Bob the new-born Triceratops and Rita the baby T Rex.

Blue Reef’s Leanna Lawson said: “We were thrilled with the turn out at these events and we feel proud to provide some unusual and fun things for the children to do during their half term.

“The looks on the children’s faces when they met both Mermaid Anna and the dinosaurs gave the team a huge sense of accomplishment.”
