We have 14 animatronic dinosaurs coming into the centre. These dinosaurs wil be in fixed locations around the centre but move and make noises. This is a free trail around the centre.
In addition to this, customers can enhance their experience by attending the palaeontologist workshop where kids can dig for fossils and put together a dinosaur skeleton. This workshop is ticketed and needs booking via our website.
In addition to the above there is also a photo opportunity where customers can have a photo inside a dinosaur egg alongside a baby dinosaur.

The dinosaurs themselves are located around both level 1 and level 2 of the centre. A full list of locations and dinosaurs will be on the webpage (live on 1st March)
The Workshops are on level 1 outside Boots.
