Jurassic Park in Concert

Nothing says family bonding quite like watching a T-Rex dismantle a Jeep while the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra blasts John Williams’ legendary score live. Jurassic Park in Concert is coming to the acoustic goldmine that is Hamer Hall and it’s one of the most spectacular family shows in Brisbane this season.

This isn’t just a movie night. It’s a full-tilt sensory experience where the film plays on the big screen while a full live orchestra does the heavy lifting. As Jeff Goldblum purrs about chaos theory, the violins and brass will be making your hair stand on end in the best possible way.

It’s the perfect big-kid outing educational because it involves an orchestra, cool because it involves dinosaurs eating lawyers. For parents, it’s a nostalgic trip back to 1993. For the kids, it’s a masterclass in how much better life is when it has a live orchestra soundtrack. One of the most unique school holiday activities in Brisbane you’ll find this season.

Just keep an eye on your glass of water  if it starts rippling, you’re in for a good time. Hearing that main theme played live by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is worth every cent of the ticket price. If your kids aren’t obsessed with palaeontological peril yet, they absolutely will be by the time the credits roll.
