    This dinosaur's name means "near crested lizard" and it was an estimated 9.5 metres long and weighed approximately 2267.96 kilograms. It was part of the hadrosaurid group. A herbivore, it was known for the elongated crest on its head.

    Pteranodon was part of the flying reptile genus called Pterosaurs. Some Pterosaurs had a wingspan of over 6 metres. They existed during the late Cretacious period and were mostly found in parts of North America.

    Ankylosaurus was a sturdy herbivore that measured up to 9 metres and weighed 5443.11 kilograms. It featured a famous hard, bony tail that acted as a club against predators. Ankylosaurus lived towards the very end of the Cretaceous period.

    Styracosaurus means "spiked lizard". A herbivore, it measured 5.5 metres in length and weighed approximately 2721.55 kilograms. Much like its family member, Triceratops, it used its powerful horns to protect itself against predators.

    Oviraptor was a small theropod dinosaur. Its name means "egg taker" as it used to feed off other dinosaur eggs. It lived some 75 million years ago in the inner Mongolian region of China. Oviraptor was one of the most bird-like of non-avian dinosaurs.

    Caudipteryx means "tail feather". It was a peacock-sized theropod dinosaur and lived during the Aptian age of the early Cretaceous period. It measured about 1 metre and had an interesting mix of reptile and bird-like features.

    Kids love to get into the saddle of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The ride has movement and sound and will make any kid feel like a pre-historic cowboy.

    Our exhibitions also feature the gentle Apatosaurus in the form a ride. Kids can jump on its back and feel like the king of the jungle millions of years ago.
