Dinosaurs at Dusk - the Origins of Flight
Travel back in time through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous geological periods in search of the ancestors of modern-day birds, the feathered dinosaurs.
Join a father and his teenage daughter Lucy, who share a fascination for all things that fly, as they travel back in time navigating from continent to continent, exploring an Earth teeming with dinosaurs in search for clues on the origins of flight.
Racing against time, they paraglide through ancient skies with Quetzalcoatlus, flee from raptors and traverse deserts with Argentinosaurus. They walk through rain forests, climb ice cliffs, sail over primordial seas and parachute into a huge sinkhole in their search for the first flying birds. When time runs out they even experience first-hand the cataclysmic 'final day' of the dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs Workshop

Through interactive activities and expert-led sessions, students can become 'Dinosaur Rangers,' learning to care for and handle lifelike dinosaur models.

With nationwide coverage and tailored sessions for all age groups, it's a memorable way to enrich your curriculum and inspire young minds.
