Since the first dinosaur fossils were discovered in the nineteenth century, dinosaur exhibitions have become major attractions at museums around the world. In recent years dinosaurs cannot only be seen in museums and science centres but also in shopping and leisure centres, theme parks and zoos; basically a great fit for venues keen to attract lots of visitors through doors.
Dinosaur exhibitions have always been crowd pulling success stories in attracting visitors. 'Palais de la Decouverte' in Paris attracted 650.000 visitors in seven months and. 78.000 visitors came to see them in just under four months in Newcastle at the 'Centre for Life'.
As an internationally recognised research institution, the Natural History Museum draws on the expertise of over 300 scientists who work at the museum to ensure the scientific accuracy of each exhibition. The exhibitions are entertaining, educational and fun for the entire family.
The exhibitions vary in size and shape but a minimum space of 400sq m is required to host the extinct monsters.
For costs involved and to find out if your venue is suitable please do get in touch with us and we can discuss how we can make dinosaurs work for you too.

Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must

leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
