About this event

Touch and inspect up close the handling collections of real and replica furs, footprints or fossils!

Inspect the Discovery Carts in the Discovery Zone. Meet and touch a mounted badger, a large ammonite fossil, and animal skulls - including a stinky pilot whale skull!

Choose your favourite animal on display in a short self-guided creative activity sheet.

No booking required but there may be a short waiting time. Suitable for Families. Wheelchair accessible. Children must be fully supervised by a parent or adult who is in loco parentis.
