So while in Paris you have some 3D dinosaurs in a big screen at la Géode (big deal!), in London we have no other than the real thing (well, the closest thing to the real one)! You will be greeted at the Natural History Museum, by Dippy, a 26m cast of a Diplodocus dinosaur and the star of this museum.

Adults and children both love this place full of interesting information about the past, present and future of the planet earth and its inhabitants, but the main attraction is about some animals that existed over 150 million years ago, yes we are referring to dinosaurs, these fascinating giant creatures that we still can’t believe existed. Here, you’ll see moving animatronic dinosaurs and fossils of all the types and families, from the terrifying T-rex to the Triceratops, you’ll learn about their world, what they ate, just everything about them. Isn’t this way better than watching them on a screen? We think it is!
