Paired with a soundtrack of growls, little ones can learn about everything from flying raptors to fossils and find out what they ate, how they lived and how they died.

As well as incredible dinosaur models, including the T-Rex, stegosaurus and diplodocus, this year there’s a new section called Totally jungle, where children aged from two to 10 can become mini explorers.

Here they can enter a world of giant plants and see life size models of animals such as zebra and giraffes while parents can happily take photos along the way. Whether your kids are dinosaur-mad or budding zoologists, they’re guaranteed to have a good time.

It should take around 45 minutes to complete Totally Jurassic, with 15 minutes for Totally Jungle, but you can take as long as you like. Places are limited and tickets, which must be pre-booked, cost £5.95 each, with a family ticket for four priced at £20 and under twos go free. The experience is open throughout half term.
