Wish you could time travel back to the Mesozoic Era and walk among the Brontosauruses and Stegosauruses? Some TV shows and movies can make us feel like we really are up close to those ancient reptiles.
Here's three shows all about dinosaurs that are available on streaming services.
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (2020)
Six lucky teenagers get the chance to go to an adventure camp where they can get up close and personal with dinosaurs - until it inevitably all goes wrong. Will these scrappy kids be able to escape the dinosaurs and the island before the last ferry leaves?
Available: on Netflix
The Land Before Time (1988)
A band of young dinosaurs - including a kind plant-eating dinosaur named Littlefoot, sassy Cera the Triceratops and sweet Spike the Stegosaurus - venture out to find the Great Valley and the rest of Littlefoot's family after a carnivore kills his mother. But that vicious carnivore is following close behind them!

The Good Dinosaur (2015)
What if dinosaurs never went extinct? This movie imagines a world where dinosaurs and the first humans lived during the same time. Arlo, an Apatosaurus trying to get back to his family farm, bumps into a human cave boy who grew up in the wild. Arlo names his new friend Spot, and with Spot's help timid Arlo learns to face his fears.
