Seven life-like dinosaurs and numerous interactive exhibits relating to dinosaurs and palaeontology will give you a feel for how the earth might have been eons ago when dinosaurs roamed freely. In the swamp the huge green Apatosaurus stretches its enormous neck out towards the safety rail, while nearby the heavy Stegosaurus moves towards the tall and toothy Tyrannosaurus. Uncover the myths and theories of the ancient world of the dinosaur in this awe-inspiring exhibition.
| Jigasaurus | |
|---|---|
| Can you rebuild a bone-crushing, meat-eating dinosaur from the right body parts? This multimedia jigsaw lets you rebuild a dinosaur skeleton without the mess and back breaking work of a fossil dig. | Fossils, palaeontology, dinosaurs, multimedia |

| Tyrannosaurus | |
| This animatronic Tyrannosaurus may be half the size of a real Tyrannosaurus rex, but it’s just as scary! Which other dinosaur is our Tyrannosaurus pitched against in battle? | Dinosaur, Upper Cretaceous, carnivorous, adaptations, animatronic, scary! |
| Triceratops | |
| The Triceratops animatronic has an unusual bony frill around its neck. Will its bony frill help the Triceratops’ fight against another mighty dinosaur, or is it useful for another purpose? | Dinosaur, Upper Cretaceous, herbivorous, adaptations, animatronic |
| Apatosaurus | |
| Who thought plant-eaters could be so scary? Apatosaurus could weigh up to 35 000 kg, but our animatronic Apatosaurus is half-life size, so if it sits on you, it won’t be too bad. | Dinosaur, Upper Jurassic, herbivorous, adaptations, animatronic |
| Stegosaurus | |
| It’s a bit of a mystery why the Stegosaurus had a row of bony plates along its spine, but maybe you could work it out when you see our animatronic Stegosaurus in Terrorsaurus. | Dinosaur, Upper Jurassic, herbivorous, adaptations, animatronic |
| Maiasaura | |
| Why does this dinosaur’s name finish with –a instead of –us? When you see our animatronic Maisaura mother watching over her young, you might find out why. | Dinosaur, Upper Cretaceous, herbivorous, behaviour, adaptation, animatronic |
| Maiasaura nest and juvenile | |
| Shhhhh! Don’t scare the animatronic Maiasaura babies that are just starting to hatch out of their eggs. Can you see their older sibling too? | Dinosaur, Upper Cretaceous, herbivorous, adaptations, animatronic |
