Last year we put the nation’s favourite curiosity centre stage and celebrated our love for all things prehistoric by launching the UK’s first ever DK Dinosaur Day.
This year we're back - bigger, better and more roarsome than ever!
Join us for a dino-mite lesson with real-life paleontologist, Ashley Hall, who will be hosting the ultimate Dinosaur Day quiz, alongside answering all your roarsome questions and unearthing jaw-dropping facts! Plus, a special dino drawing workshop with DK illustrator Claire McElfatrick as kids learn all about the unique identifiers that set dinosaurs apart.
Sign up here to gain access to the video from 10:00 on Friday 28 June 2024. Please note the video will be able to view after this time if you are unable to watch live.
