Their favorite.
Their birthday.

Start by thinking about the kind of dinosaur your child would enjoy meeting. Some children like a bouncy, clumsy dino who keeps tripping over the decorations; others prefer a curious, gentle dino who wants to learn names and hear about the birthday child. Both approaches keep the purple dinosaur recognizable while letting the performer respond to the room. Discuss these ideas with the team so the energy can match your child's age and temperament. A calmer personality may suit shy guests, while a more playful one may suit a group that wants to move around.

One way to shape the visit is to give the birthday child a role in the story. You could ask whether the child might help the dino look for a missing egg, choose a name for the group's dinosaur, or lead a simple stomp-and-freeze game. Moments like these let the birthday child feel central without being put on the spot. Ask which activities suit your child, and whether a quieter option is possible for guests who prefer to watch. Keep the plan flexible, since the most memorable moments often come from a child's own response to the dino.

Before you choose a date, think about how many guests you are inviting and how much space they will have. A dino visit could suit a small group in a living room or a larger hall where children can spread out for a stomping game. Ask the team how they would pace a visit for a group of your size, and whether they could suggest a rhythm that moves from a greeting to a few activities and then a calmer moment around cake. A visit on this site is booked for at least one hour, so plan the schedule in that block and let any brief activities sit inside it.

Ask the team what the performer can offer for a group of your child's age, and whether the costume suits the setting you have in mind. Confirm the arrival time, where the performer will get ready, and how the party space should be arranged. If you plan to use a park, school hall or community room, check with that venue first whether outside entertainment is allowed, since the venue's rules come before any booking. A short conversation with the team at the start helps you decide what to keep, change or leave out.
