The National Dinosaur Museum is not just about Dinosaurs.
The exhibitions cover the history of life on this planet with fossils from 700-million-year-old marine fauna through to fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Highlights include:

- Easy-to-read, educational information panels
- Beautiful murals depicting reconstructions of prehistoric environments
- Skulls, skeletons, replica models and interactive animatronic dinosaurs
- Fossils not on display anywhere else in the world
