Dinosaur Detective

Have you ever wanted to dig for Dinosaurs? In Dino Detective enter the Camp Site and become a palaeontologist digging for dinosaur bones. Watch our scientists working on real fossils. Uncover all the clues to reveal your dino discovery. Imagine what it ate, how it moved and what it looked like.

Grab your spade and enter the Dig Site. Start digging as soon as you arrive. Carefully brush away the earth and reveal a bone. Which dino bones will you find? Is it part of a dinosaur's leg, head, tail or rib? Can you match your bone to part of the dinosaur's skeleton? Your discovery will be revealed, so keep digging.

Gondwana

What will you find in the forests of Gondwana? Step back in time and become a prehistoric creature. Are you fast and fierce? Are you large and long? What will you be today?
