Don’t miss Dinosaurs in the Wild – a truly epic adventure!
Prepare for the greatest journey you will ever take! From this October, you will be able to climb aboard a time machine and travel back to see and feel what it was really like to be there, in the late Cretaceous, 67 million years ago. Your adventure will take you to TimeBase 67 - an extraordinary research station built in the past - to meet time-travelling scientists who now study real, living dinosaurs instead of fossils. Tour their laboratories, watch them at work and see incredible sights like young dinosaurs in cages, a dinosaur autopsy and chicks emerging from eggs. This unique, immersive live adventure combines theatre, theme park fun and the very latest scientific research. The adventure runs until 2nd January 2018. W:
