There are five adventure playgrounds, a dinosaur forest, a dinosaur maze and brand new for 2021, jurassic mini golf.

Stockeld Park events manager Darren Smith told the Stray Ferret:

"Rita the raptor escaped last night. We just managed to track her down just outside Bettys queueing up for a coffee, of all places.
"We have got her under control now. Rita seems to love it here in Yorkshire and is just trying on a flat cap now.
"It's for our jurassic summer. We are going to have dinosaurs there every day. All the usual things at Stockeld with a jurrasic twist."
