It's HUGE. It's HERE! Walk with the largest dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth.

In a world-first, this incredible exhibition brings together full-scale casts of dinosaurs from an ancient time in Patagonia, alongside incredible fossils and new finds.

Experience the sheer size of the Patagotitan and walk with herbivores and carnivores from the Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic! 

This striking exhibition features 13 dinosaur species, 16 skeleton casts, incredible fossils, 3D animations and video, and interactive fun for all the family.
