Have you ever wondered what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, what they really looked like and why we continue to study them today?

Book a Dinotour with one of our knowledgeable tour guides to get up close and personal with all the main characters in our world-famous Dinosaurs gallery.

Your guide will meet you at the Museum's Exhibition Road entrance then take you to the Dinosaurs gallery before our doors open to the public. You'll get to journey through time and learn how dinosaurs were first discovered, how they adapted to life on Earth and why they're so important to our science today.

Highlights include a dinosaur with a chewing mechanism unlike anything seen in animals today, a shocking avian revelation and the reason sauropods didn't fight each other for food.

You will have a chance to ask all your pressing dinosaur questions at the end of the tour.
