Review:
The centre has a brilliant range of activities, which are especially for loved by children. The most known activity is a dinosaur discovery activity. The centre has an expansive gift shop area with lots of local products and books. Walk through into the free Discovery Room with themes such as plants, animals and dinosaurs. There are some genuine fossil bones as they are found, embedded in rock.
The left side of the building hosts an interesting Shell Museum.
