The journey begins with an immersive glimpse into the Cretaceous world, followed by interactive displays that reveal how Triceratops used its horns, frill and beak to survive. Comparisons with modern animals like deer, parrots and bighorn sheep help bring its story to life.

At the heart of the exhibition is a rare, fossilised Triceratops skull, measuring an impressive 1.9 metres long. Visitors can explore how this three-horned giant lived, what it ate, and how it defended itself against predators like the mighty T. rex.

Plus, there are lots of hands-on activities for kids and families, including:

Touch a digital replica of the Triceratops skull and feel its features up close
Join a fossil dig and uncover replica bones like a real palaeontologist
Explore beyond the exhibition, with signposts to Stan the T. rex and the dramatic rock layer marking the meteorite impact that ended the age of dinosaurs
