Step into the desert of Patagonia and discover incredible new fossil finds. See how palaeontologists reconstruct the past, and journey back in time to explore dinosaur adaptations and environments. Patagonia and Aotearoa New Zealand were part of Gondwana when dinosaurs ruled – could similar dinosaurs have roamed here?

This family-friendly exhibition includes models, fossils, videos, and fun activities – walk like a dino, sound like a dino, even create a virtual dino!

Highlights include:

• a 30-metre-long cast of Patagotitan

• eleven other precise casts, from tiny Manidens to ferocious Tyrannotitan, which preyed on Patagotitan

• one of the biggest fossilised bones ever found: Patagotitan’s femur.
