How To Choose the Perfect Dinosaur Costume

Few costumes get a bigger reaction than a dinosaur. Whether you're stomping into a kids' birthday party, roaring through Book Week, or bringing the laughs to an adult fancy dress night, a dinosaur costume is guaranteed fun. From giant inflatable T-Rex suits to cute-and-cuddly dino outfits for little ones, Jokers Costume Mega Store has the right prehistoric look for every age and occasion — read on for how to pick yours.

Step #1: Pick your dinosaur — and your vibe

Start with the effect you're after. Want to be the life of the party? An inflatable T-Rex costume is an instant crowd-pleaser that turns even a quiet gathering into a comedy show. After something the kids can run and play in? Look for a soft, hooded jumpsuit with 3D scales, a tail and a friendly dino headpiece. For a fiercer, more realistic look, choose a costume with printed muscle detailing, claws and a moulded mask.

If you're coordinating a group or family theme, mix and match — pair an adult inflatable dinosaur with kids' dino jumpsuits for a whole herd. Dinosaur costumes also work brilliantly alongside our kids costumes and Halloween costumes for a bigger themed event.

Step #2: Get the fit right

A dinosaur costume should be roomy enough to move, dance and stomp in comfortably. Measure your chest, waist and height and compare them against the size chart on your chosen costume before you buy.

On adult costumes you can also use our free Size & Fit scan, which recommends the best size from your measurements and takes the guesswork out of shopping online. Buy the size the scan recommends and your adult costume is covered by our Size Fit Guarantee: if it doesn't fit, we'll exchange it free. The Size Fit Guarantee applies to adult costumes only and requires you to have used the scan and purchased the recommended size; we don't offer exchanges or refunds for change of mind, so it pays to scan before you buy.

Step #3: Add the finishing touches

The details make the dinosaur. Add clawed gloves, dino feet or a set of teeth to complete the transformation, and consider a little green or grey face paint for extra realism. For inflatable suits, wear comfortable shoes and keep a phone or power bank handy for the built-in fan. Browse our animal costumes and accessories to round out the look.

Step #4: Order in time for the big day

To make sure your dinosaur costume arrives when you need it, order before 1PM AEST Monday to Friday for same-day dispatch. Choose Standard, Express or Premium delivery at checkout, and every order is backed by our Delivery Guarantee: if your order arrives late, you'll receive a full refund (including delivery fees) and you keep the costume.
