Dotty for dinosaurs?


Dino Encounter at SeaCity Museum, Southampton … to September 27: Come face to face with some of history's most fearsome beasts, be greeted by moving #dinosaurs, discover more about man's obsession with these gigantic creatures, and learn about new techniques that are helping experts to understand more about dinosaurs. 

Fossils Rock at Winchester Cathedral … to November 1: A family trail will lead visitors through the cathedral to discover the stories within the stones. The cathedral is almost 1,000 years old, but the stone used to build it is millions of years old, created during a time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Interactive and hands-on, it is an opportunity to 'find and feel' the cathedral's ancient history.

Dinosaur Isle, Isle of Wight: #DinosaurIsle is Britain's original dinosaur attraction. Meet life-size models of the Isle of Wight's famous five dinosaurs – Neovenator, Eotyrannus, Iguanodon, Hypsilophodon, and Polacanthus, and follow in the footsteps of these beasts on one of the museum's family fossil walks along the beach.


The Jurassic Coast, Dorset: Studland beach near Bournemouth is the easiest place to access the eastern end of the #JurassicCoast, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The spectacular, unspoilt coastline at Purbeck offers four miles of golden beaches. The gently shelving waters, designated trails, and fossil hunting opportunities make the beach a magnet for families.

Booth Museum of Natural History, Brighton: Originally founded as a Victorian collector's private museum, the museum brings natural history to life with interactive displays spanning three centuries plus a number of special exhibitions and hands on activities.

Planet Earth at Paradise Park, Newhaven, East Sussex: Discover the world of animals and plants from millions of years ago to the present day, and see life-size dinosaurs and a collection of fossils, minerals, and crystals.


Dinos in your Garden, Gosport Museum … October 10 to December 5: Discover how meat-eating dinosaurs evolved into birds, their nearest living relatives. See feathers, claws, teeth, eggs, and footprints, and you'll never look at a magpie the same way again.
