The three-week show is being brought to the city by the team behind the popular Jurassic Kingdom, which took over the city’s Botanic Gardens in 2017.

Naz Kabir, global event producer and marketing director at Weli Cultural Alliance, said: “After the outstanding success of Glasgow’s Jurassic Kingdom in 2017, we couldn’t wait to return to the city.

“We wanted to develop a new concept using the expertise of our creative team, and so Ice Age: The Lost Kingdom was born.

“It really pushes the boundaries of our technology, with 40 animatronic creatures all with moving body parts, wide opening jaws, and roaring sound effects that help transport you back to the prehistoric times.
