Dino-Gate put on activities to explore and take part in a including a dino-dig for fossils, stories from adventurer Terry Dactyl plus a hunt around the centre for the missing words, and the chance to win an incredible prize.

“The reaction from the children and parents was fantastic and response has been really positive,” said interim Marketing Manager, Alice Watkinson. “The activities were great for little ones to play with, learn about dinosaurs, and interact. Plus, the fossil hunt continues throughout the whole of August and is free for everyone to enjoy.”
