Jurassic World Experience Officially Ending in January 2026

Jurassic has long been a staple of Universal Studios' theme park resorts, from Jurassic World: The Ride in Hollywood to the sprawling Jurassic Park area at Universal Studios Florida's Islands of Adventure, home to attractions like the high-speed VelociCoaster.

Those attractions, along with many others, have kept the iconic franchise firmly rooted in the theme park space for decades. In London, however, a different kind of Jurassic experience has been drawing crowds this year — and it’s now nearing the end of its run.

Jurassic World Experience Closing Its Doors

Jurassic World: The Experience, formerly known as Jurassic World: The Exhibition, is currently operating at NEON at Battersea. According to the availability calendar on the attraction’s official website and ticket sellers, the immersive walk-through will run its final tours on January 4, 2026 (unless of course the exhibition gets another extension).

The experience returned this year and has welcomed visitors into a series of themed environments inspired by the Jurassic World trilogy. Guests begin by entering through the franchise’s familiar gates before moving through multiple zones designed to re-create Isla Nublar. The attraction features full-scale animatronic dinosaurs, including Velociraptors, a Tyrannosaurus rex, a Carnotaurus, and a towering Brachiosaurus.

Visitors can also explore labs showcasing dinosaur hatchlings and fossils, and encounter predators positioned throughout the exhibit. One section places guests in the Valley of the Gyrospheres, while another offers photo opportunities with a baby dinosaur.

Future Version Could Be Based on Latest Jurassic Film

The upcoming closure marks the end of the attraction’s latest London run, but it may not be gone for good. Not only has it already been extended due to popular demand, but Jurassic World: The Experience has previously closed and later returned under updated branding and new locations. Given that history, the Battersea shutdown may simply be another pause before the dinosaurs find a new home — or make their way back again.

Also taking into account the recent success of the latest film, Jurassic World Rebirth, which grossed over $860 million worldwide, a future experience could be modeled off that entry as opposed to the Jurassic World theme park aesthetic.

In other words, life will probably find a way.
