Current and upcoming events
Dino Activity Zone
Step back in time to the world of dinosaurs. Become a dinosaur as you dress up in tails, play in Dinosaur nests and stomp and roar. Think about the features of dinosaurs as you draw 'My Dinosaur'. Does it have sharp teeth and claws or a very long neck? Will it be green, purple or covered in spots?
What's Inside?
Discovery-based What’s Inside? units where children aged 3 - 8 can play, get hands-on with objects and puppets and engage with activities, books and games.
What's Inside? units cover Dinosaurs, Marine Reptiles, Life in the Outback and Discover Queensland. One or more of these What's Inside? units are located within our exhibition spaces most weekday mornings
