http://www.thedinosaurmuseum.comPhone: 01305 269880Fax: 01305 268885The only museum on mainland Britain dedicated to dinosaurs; the award-winning Dinosaur Museum is a treat, especially for children. The museum combines life-sized reconstructions of dinosaurs with fossils and skeletons to create a hands-on experience. Multimedia displays tell the story of the giant prehistoric animals and their enthralling world millions of years ago. The life-size dinosaur reconstructions, which include Tyrannosaurus rex, Corythosaurus, Deinonychus and Triceratops, are among the most popular displays. They beg to be touched by little hands - and that's encouraged. The Dinosaur Museum is situated in the centre of Dorchester, a gateway town to the Jurassic Coast. The museum has most recently been heralded as one of Britain’s Top Ten Family Museums. Previously it has been chosen as one of Britain’s Top Ten Hands On Museums. Such hands on displays as the ‘feely box’ and ‘feel a fossil’ mean discovering about dinosaurs is fun, and the 'Dinosaur Discovery' Gallery upstairs is filled with even more interactive displays. Whatever the weather be sure to visit Dorchester’s monster attraction. An all weather Dorset attraction.
