Fossils and Funny Bones

Go on a journey of discovery through time with Fossils and Funny bones, a brand new interactive exhibition specifically designed for children under eight and their carers, Fossils and funny bones lets children explore our prehistoric world through imaginative play and hands-on activities.

They can venture from an immersive prehistoric world, complete with its own dinosaur costumes and storybook, into a cave and then on through a fossil finders lab to a big dig, where they can dig up and examine the remains of prehistoric creatures.

Split into themed areas and including role-play, physical play, a story-telling space and interactive investigation activities, the exhibition lets children find out more about the creatures that once walked the Earth!

Fossils and funny bones is free with a ticket to Explore. Children under three go free.
