Dinosaur Dome is designed to explore science, geology and geography in an interactive way through an immersive dome and mobile planetarium. The Dome visits schools and clubs, providing an additional science resource and presenting a different learning experience to children. We provide a mobile planetarium and natural history shows (rocks/ fossils and dinosaurs) to schools, colleges, youth clubs, scouts groups and playgroups. The service is provided in a blacked-out purpose built mobile dome which can be sited indoors or outside using a special all-surround (hemisphere) screen. With the help of a local expert we are now offering 3D pictures in most of our shows. See the power of 3D images to illustrate science and to stimulate young minds. See scary dinosaurs in 3D using 3D glasses (provided).   A full day visit costing in the range of £395 (excluding VAT) with a typical day including up to five class shows. London area the charge is around £450 per day (excluding VAT). Please be aware that we charge a travel and hotel supplement north of the M4.

The Dinosaur Show The show includes dinosaur pictures in 3D using 3D glasses (provided) and also real dinosaur fossils to hold and examine. Our giant 180 degree projector is used to walk through a dinosaur landscape. The show starts with time travel back to the Jurassic times and pictures of early earth landscapes. The programme then gives an interactive introduction to dinosaurs and talks about the fossils in the local Jurassic coast. 3D picture of dinosaurs are used in the show. Real dinosaur fossils for the children to hold and examine are included. The show ends with possible ways of dinosaur extinction such as a large meteorite. We then look at the stars using the planetarium. We observe many shooting stars and the night's sky. An extensive Rocks and Fossils collection is available to examine and some sample can be purchase by the children, if desired. Makes a great day suitable for reception onwards and can include KS1/KS2 materials with rocks and soils.
