Dinosaurs have intrigued us for centuries, and continue to do so today, hence the numerous and exciting dinosaur attractions around the world. Fun, informative, or both, there is something to suit your personal interest in these massive animals. Book in advance for cheap hotels, and have a holiday to remember.
Even as close to home as the Isle of Wight there are genuine dinosaur fossils to be found. The Dinosaur Farm, otherwise known as Lower Sutton Farm, in the Isle of Wight is a Site of Scientific Interest. There is 30% of a brachiosaurus dinosaur on the farm, the most complete dinosaur of its type in Western Europe, found in 1992. The remains, and other fossils are showcased throughout the summer on certain days.
It's a great place for education and discovery, with an on-site laboratory and there are also dinosaur experts present to discuss the preparation and recovery of fossils, and to answer any questions. There is also a gift shop where kids can find their favourite dinosaurs in the form of toys! Plus you'll find a range of good hotels nearby.
At the Changzhou Dinosaur Park in China there is a museum which is as scientific as it is fun, and a great place for children. Throughout the park, there are enormous sculptures of dinosaurs and statues, as well as cavemen and pirates. There are fossils in the museum which are good for educating children in an interesting way. In the summer months, the heat is manageable due the water park being open and it's a place where you can cool off.
Australia is also a great place to discover the history of dinosaurs, and it's no surprise, given its massive wide uninhabited spaces of its Outback in Queensland. As well as mining tours, hiking trails and other amazing outdoor pursuits, dinosaur fans can try "fossicking" - hunting for fossils. You'll need to get a licence from a local agent but then you will be free to try your hand at uncovering a piece of history. There are plenty of great Queensland hotels, and for a spot of luxury after a day in the desert, head to the Skyline Court Apartments.
