Dinotropolis is a dinosaur-themed indoor adventure park on Bluewater's Upper Plaza, with three storeys of soft play in its Dino Jungle. Children can also race pedal karts and dig for fossils among life-size dinosaur models, so it suits dinosaur fans and makes an easy add-on to a Bluewater shopping trip.
