Adventure Planet
Our planet is an amazing place for adventures – whether it’s
uncovering the skeleton of a dinosaur in our 'Dino
dig', dressing up to dive to the bottom of the sea or crawling
through the roots of a giant oak tree to discover the species
living there. What will you discover?

Things to see
Encounter, explore, investigate – in Adventure Planet you can do
all of these things. The gallery is organized into three areas:
Encounter brings you face to face with amazing
specimens from the natural world.
Explore lets you have hands-on fun with
nature – you can enjoy identifying mystery animals from
tracks, smells and other clues, or explore life inside a cow
pat.
Investigate gets you close to real
specimens.
Don’t miss…
Get up close to a black rhino, marvel at the quartz and amethyst
crystals inside a geode, match fossils, measure yourself against a
stegosaurus and place your hands into the tracks of a dinosaur from
Skye.
