Its not a bad little place. Price's I guess are ok but still over £30 for 2 adults/2 children. We took our time and completed the quiz whilst going around and we were still done in under an hour. The models are pretty decent and the fossil digging was fun with nice clean sand. Our oldest (11) thought it a bit meh , his words, but our 5 yo thought it was awesome, again his words. Overall, not a bad place and worth a visit

A brilliant little attraction for dinosaur-loving kids! The exhibits are fun and interactive, the staff were friendly, and our child absolutely loved exploring and taking part in the quiz. Great value for a family outing, especially if the weather isn't great. We'd happily visit again!

Weekday visit, not busy, but children loudly enjoying themselves. £9 for an adult (£8 for concessions). Friendly welcome. Easy to find with the 2 full size Utah Raptors outside (by the harbour, near the Agatha Christie statue). The larger exhibits are good mainly due to form and getting a sense of real size. The smaller exhibits look like the average toy you can purchase. The info sheets are clear,. informative and fun (although the lighting should be improved as some are difficult to read). Educational for children, and lesser dinosaur enthusiasts. Some exhibits can be touched and even sat on by children. There's 2 small "dig" areas for kids and a play area, a few touch the replica fossil pieces and 5 press the buttons to hear this dinosaur roar or screech. You can take as many photos as you want. There's an optional quiz on the way round (paper, pen and clipboard provided). The gift shop is available at the end as well as another photo opportunity. Highlights: 2 large replica T-Rex skulls, multiple full size raptor exhibits and being able to touch some of the items and take photos touching them.

Cool little place for kids who love dinosaurs, and they get to sit on a few which is good as many places like that you can't touch anything. Bit small for the price paid for a family of 5 it was £45 ish, which when you consider you could walk round it in 20 minutes if you wanted is quite alot. Quite a few places are more expensive with a family true, but you get alot more of an experience. I suppose if you read every detail on every sign you could make it last an hour or two but very young kids will get bored of reading, or might not be able to! But it was ok and killed an hour or so. Staff friendly enough too. 👍

My son loves dinosaurs! We were on holiday with the family the last week of august and came across Dinosaur world! We couldn’t wait to visit.. We were welcomed by great, friendly staff and on entry were given a task sheet to fill in as we went around which made the visit really interesting! The place is fantastic for keen dinosaur fans… the model dinosaurs are amazing and life like! It makes you feel like you are totally submerged in Jurassic world! There is plenty to do, see and feel… my son loved stroking all the dinosaurs, and all the little light boxes that you look into and all the teeth you can touch! He loved digging around in the sand for fossils too… There is so much to do here for the very reasonable asking price… but definitely get the task sheet as it makes it very interesting… if you get the answers correct you get a sticker and certificate to prove you are a master dinosaur expert! Adults will love it to… we will defo return on our next visit! Thank you dinosaur world!
