Tyrannosaurs – Meet the Family

You think you know T. rex – think again.
This exhibition brings the latest tyrannosaur discoveries to life, overturning our preconceptions about these ferocious predators. While the most famous is the mighty T. rex, tyrannosaurs came in all shapes and sizes and from all over the globe, and their history goes back over 100 million years. New tyrannosaurs, like the crested Guanlong from China, are changing and challenging our understanding of the evolution of these iconic, well-loved dinosaurs.

Tyrannosaurs offers visitors a look at rare and magnificent fossils, reconstructing the life-sized skeletons of these terrifying carnivores like you’ve never seen before. The exhibition includes “Scotty,” a cast of one of the largest and most complete T. rex skeletons in the world.

Tyrannosaurs presents exceptional fossils as well as striking life-sized skeletons and models. Interactives in the exhibition help visitors learn about the evolution of the tyrannosaurs and the latest scientific stories behind these remarkable creatures. Tyrannosaurs incorporates innovative multimedia experiences to engage audiences of all ages.

Visitor Comments:

Very good exhibition, lots of facts, ‘Scotty’ was amazing! Would recommend going!

Amazing exhibition! Lovely to see all the variations of Tyrannosaurs up close!

Loved it! The raptor was very cool. The Dino’s running in the city was amazing, so were the bones!

It was amazing! Very informative, gave us more of an insight into the almighty T-Rex.

This is such a beautiful exhibition. Dinosaurs are a childhood favorite and I just had to come check it out. It really lived up to my expectations, and more! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

This was an absolutely amazing exhibit. Very educational, age-diverse activities and fun! Awesome! Well worth going to see it.
