Find out more about the touring exhibitions currently available.

Dinosaur Encounter is a flexible exhibition, comprising a number of animatronic dinosaur models that can be incorporated into a bespoke dinosaur-themed exhibition.

In-depth research carried out in conjunction with our scientists at the design stage, brings incredible levels of lifelike reality and scientific accuracy to our animatronic models.

The exhibition features the most famous creature of all dinosaurs - the Tyrannosaurus rex. At three-quarters the size of a life-size T.rex, this animatronic model is a fearsome image of this extinct monster.

Another three-quarter-sized model in the exhibition is the animatronic Ankylosaur. This dinosaur was a short-legged, sturdy limbed creature with bands of bony studs or plates to protect its body.

Put together your own dinosaur-themed exhibition and let your visitors experience your own safari style adventure from the Jurassic period.

And, because no exhibition visit is complete without a browse of the gift shop, we also offer a wide range of fantastic dinosaur merchandise at wholesale prices.
