Your small group (of up to 5 people) will be met outside the museum and then taken back in time to the Earth Gallery, where you'll be given a geological introduction to paleontology.

After that you'll explore the beginnings of life on Earth and the arrival of the dinosaurs, before heading into the museum's famous Dinosaur gallery to marvel at the animatronic monsters, fossils and skeletons.

To make the tour as interactive and engaging for the kids as possible, there will be plenty of hands-on activities like handling fossils and wearing a virtual reality headset, and your kids will have every opportunity to ask questions about the things that interest them.

As you walk between the display cases your guide will bring the ancient beasts to life by sharing fascinating information about their anatomy, diet and behaviour, their size, strength and weaponry, and covering all the different time periods when they ruled the earth.
