Fossils, skeletons, life-size dinosaur reconstructions, plus hands-on and multimedia displays provide great family fun – part of the Jurassic Coast experience. The only museum on mainland Britain dedicated to dinosaurs, the award-winning Dinosaur Museum is a treat, especially for children. The museum combines life-size reconstructions of dinosaurs with fossils and skeletons to create an exciting hands-on experience.
Multimedia displays tell the story of the giant prehistoric animals and their enthralling world millions of years ago. Life-size dinosaur reconstructions – including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops beg to be touched by little hands – that’s encouraged! The museum is part of the Jurassic Coast experience.
