Eden Project - The Dinosaurs!

These were rather well done and gave the kids something to enjoy if they were not into plants (which surprisingly few of them are!).


The flying ones are in the Mediterranean Zone and are stationary models. There is a story area below at appointed times.



These bigger ones are in their own darkened dome and are animatronic, Half of them is made to look like a normal dinosaur and the other shows their bones. Some are complete models and others are head and neck. Lots of teeth and noises make them very popular.


Out side this enclosed area there is a 'friendly dino' that children can pet as it put its long neck out of the tent into the sunshine, but there were so many people around it that I couldn't get a photo.




And to complete the 'air, land, water' trio, there is a large chamber, entered via fake coral corridors, that is lit to feel underwater. There is a huge tissue paper model of an adult dino and a puppeteer, who makes the baby one swim around and interact with the surroundings and the people walking around the central area (if you zoom in on the photo you will see her just left of centre).


Junior dino hunters have a passport/ quiz book that can be written in and then stamped.
