About Dino Lab!

Step into the Science Garden and travel back millions of years at our exciting Dino Lab experience!

Become a fossil hunter as you create your very own dinosaur trackway. Using dinosaur footprints, you’ll design a prehistoric pathway and discover how scientists interpret the clues left behind by dinosaurs long ago.

Get hands-on with our fossil handling collection and have a go at digging for fossils in our sand pit.

Messy. Creative. Educational.

Roars of fun for the whole family.

Perfect for curious kids and grown-ups alike — come and dig into the past with us!
