Colossal prehistoric creatures come to life in an immersive, family-friendly exhibition

Step into a world where prehistoric giants dominate the imagination. Life-sized sculptures, skeletons and fossils reveal creatures that thrived after the dinosaurs, including the massive Otodus megalodon and Titanoboa. Explore how these enormous animals lived, why they went extinct, and the scientific detective work that uncovered them.

Interactive displays let you try the role of a palaeontologist, while connections to modern giants like whales and elephants highlight ongoing conservation challenges. Engaging and hands-on, the exhibition blends natural history, science and awe-inspiring displays for all ages.
