About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

The Dinosaur Museum was established 1984 and presents an amazing mixture of dinosaur fossils, skeletons, life-size reconstructions and interactive displays such as the 'feelies' (a unique hands-on experience reveals what a T-Rex dinosaur felt like), colour box and parasaurlophus sound. Multi-media presentations provide a family friendly attraction with new features each year. Every Easter weekend there is a Great Dinosaur Easter Egg Hunt taking place. Visitors of all ages will enjoy The Dinosaur Museum. There are also fantastic fun-sheets for children, so they can get the best out of their visit.
