After Hours at The Dinosaurs' Museum

What really happens after hours at the museum when the grown-ups have gone home? Kids will join an expedition into the museum collection accompanied by dinosaurs, other prehistoric creatures and their keepers.

As well as receiving an intimate understanding of the life and times of these primitive beings, the children will receive an exclusive behind the scenes tour, guided by torchlight.

Erth Visual and Physical Theatre, who are experts in imaginative entertainment for children, have created this performance just for Darwin. Funny, informative and sometimes a little bit scary, this is an unforgettable experience; shining a whole new light on what is usually a completely static exhibition.

Suitable for children ages 5 - 15
