This place is so bad! I think they could be done by trading standards for the description of this place on their website. Firstly, it is not a museum, its someones house with lots of dinosaur stuff inside. Secondly, they have big dinosaur models sitting just behind the reception but dont be fooled! these are the only 'lifesize dinosaur models' (as described on the website) in the whole place. thirdly, the dinosaur that 'dominates the courtyard' (again from the website) is outside in a tiny patiod area which coud hardly be called a courtyard. The whole pllace has pictures of dinosaurs that have been printed from the internet and then laminated - hardly archilogical examples. Avoid this place at all costs. I wish I had.

Honestly, this place is probably the worst "attraction" I have ever been too. It reminded me of that theme park on the TV series, Father Ted or a parent who liked her sons GCSE course work so much she put it out on display and charged people to look. The life sized dinosaurs are made from peeling paper mache, they have wonky heads and sneering deformed mouths. One attraction was an old plastic storage crate with a wooden lid slapped on and a plastic dino screwed to the back inside. You open the lid and guess what, there's the plastic toy dinosaur, wohoo - I almost wet my pants with joy.. Just, no.

This so called museum consisted of tacky rubbish and was certainly not worth the 25 pounds admission price. The exhibits were like the worst of the old British seaside - both poorly done and uninspiring. The interactive "hands on" experience consisted of two or three ancient PC's running old Microsoft dinosaur CDs. Do not go!
