I took the family to see the Natural History Museum's Dinosaurs Live on tour- here why you should too

Big roars, bigger fun!

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing a T. rex up close (without, you know, running for your life), Dinosaurs Live is your chance—and it’s a total blast.

Brought to life by the Natural History Museum and Mark Thompson Productions, this show isn’t your average dinosaur exhibit. It’s a full-on time-travel adventure, jumping from the Triassic to the Jurassic and right through to the Cretaceous.

And yes, the dinosaurs are HUGE, realistic, and ridiculously cool. When that massive T. rex stomped onto the stage, the entire theatre gasped. (One kid in front of me nearly fell off his seat—pure joy.)

But it’s not just all roars and teeth. There’s loads of fascinating stuff packed in too—how fossils are made, what Earth looked like millions of years ago, and how these giant creatures ruled the planet long before humans were even a thought.

The info is dropped in between the dino action, so you’re learning without even realising it.

The host keeps things buzzing the whole way through—funny, super energetic, and great with the kids.

There’s lots of audience interaction, which the little ones loved, and even some moments where they got to be part of the action on stage.

Honestly, whether you're a mini palaeontologist or just someone who thinks dinosaurs are awesome (hi, same), this show is a guaranteed good time.

It’s educational, exciting, and just the right amount of wild. Catch it while it’s in town—you won't regret it!
