Some scheduled outputs for the dino-obsessed to dive into at this event:

Dino Doom (Ages 5+)

Uncover the mystery of how dinosaurs vanished from our planet! Was it a massive meteor, or perhaps a colossal volcanic eruption? Through a series of exciting experiments and live demonstrations, kids will explore the different theories behind the dinosaurs’ extinction and discover the science that brings these ancient events to life.

Digit Diggers (Ages 7+)

Join a team of young palaeontologists as they uncover dinosaur footprints that could reveal incredible secrets about these ancient creatures. By analyzing and observing these tracks, participants will piece together the story of the dinosaurs—learning how they walked, how large they were, and even what they ate!

The Habitat Lab (Ages 4+)

Dive into the world of dinosaurs and explore the unique habitats they lived in. Kids will learn about the special features that helped dinosaurs adapt to their environments. With LEGO bricks, they can also build their very own dinosaur, designed to survive in a habitat of their choice!

Fossil Detectives (Ages 3-6)

Become a real palaeontologist in this hands-on workshop! Young explorers will dig up fossils, analyze them, and learn about different types of dinosaurs. They’ll also discover why fossils are so important and how recent findings are still teaching us new things about these ancient creatures.

Dino Themed Messy Play (Ages 0-2)

Introduce your little ones to the world of dinosaurs through open-ended sensory play. Designed for ages 0-2, this area offers engaging parent-child activities that stimulate the senses and spark curiosity. It’s the perfect way to start their prehistoric adventure!
