A really well laid out museum with opportunities for kids to interact with different exhibits, from discovering fossils in the sand and making a robot dinosaur move. Something to look at, at every opportunity.
We came here and had a nice time, my son really enjoyed digging in the sand pit, I do think he is abit young to enjoy this kind of thing properly (3). Me and my partner enjoyed listening about discovering the fossils/bones. There were some parts that were broken or missing which is a shame. A nice big gift shop at the end to visit.
We came here while looking for things to do on the Isle of Wight. The building is a bit old and could use some updating, but if you love dinosaurs, you’ll probably enjoy it. There are lots of fossils, models, and interactive displays. The museum is quite small though, so it doesn’t take long to go around.
Amazing to see fossils and bones and animals that ruled the earth before us. Toilets in centre and lots of disabled access as floor flat gets busy when the kids off parking outside car park free for blue badge holders otherwise payable only a small car park staff very friendly and warm good for school holidays
Kids absolutely love it here. All high ratings from them. Loads of educational stands, some interactive things to do, like jigsaws, dinosaur sounds, and fossil digging. After a visit around the museum, there is also an educational room upstairs just past the gift shop reception. In here there are puzzles, comfy teddy area, toys, colouring pages and more to all enjoy as a family which we found really good. I can't say that the actual museum is large, it's a little smaller than expected. But with the amount of information and interactive things around to do make up for it. We spent a good hour and a half here. It's also fairly priced, too.
