Our Educational Workshop Package includes a dynamic range of items from the exhibition, such as a life-sized T. Rex skull and fleshed-out head, along with a fun and interactive presentation. Participants will have the opportunity to handle fossils, engage in storytelling, participate in science activities, light dinosaur based exercise, enjoy drawing activities, and even try their hand at fossil casting. Please note that activities may vary from time to time. Version 2:
If you're hosting festivals, carnivals, fetes, community events, or any other special occasion, our authentic tented display will transport you back to the wild west. Marvel at our collection of specially selected museum-quality reproduction dinosaur fossils from the UK and USA, including some of the most renowned species from that period. You'll have the chance to handle these fossils and get up close and personal with the skull of one of America's largest predatory dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus rex, and much more. Version 3:
For exhibitions, museums, and other indoor venues, we offer the FULL mobile palaeontology exhibition experience, including the only life sized Spinosaurus skull cast in the UK.

Proudly displaying a stunning life-sized 75cm long tail club from the 33 foot long Ankylosaur of the late Cretaceous.

This item has been the toopic of many a conversation within the exhibition, especially to its exact use and, of course, its effectiveness against T. Rex.
