Tuesday 17 December 2024 to Thursday 30 January 2025 | 10:30 am - 12 pm (noon)

This summer holidays we're exploring all things dinosaurs in a series of fun workshops for kids (and their parent helpers).

  • In our Flying Theropods workshop you can create your own bird-like dinosaur glider, then join in our dinosaur flight challenge.    17 & 19 December
  • Get inspired by our ancient (and thankfully extinct) Tweed volcano and build your own erupting volcano using simple science in the Lava Lab workshop. You can also help us create a giant model of Wollumbin as an active 20 million year old volcano!    7 & 9 January
  • Construct your own plastic bottle terrarium from recycled materials, then decorate a dinosaur to inhabit it in our Mini Lost Worlds workshop.    14 & 16 January
  • Create an imaginary fossilised dinosaur skeleton in our Dino Bones Workshop. Then get inspired by the paleo artists in the exhibition to draw what your dinosaur looked like as a living creature!    21 & 23 January
  • Using natural materials like nuts, pods, leaves and sticks create your own unique dinosaur in our Bush Dinosaurs workshop.    28 & 30 January

Bookings essential.
