Travel back in time to walk among dinosaurs. This immersive VR workshop brings the prehistoric world to life, combining virtual reality with hands-on learning about evolution, adaptation and Earth's dynamic geological processes. Students don't just learn about dinosaurs — they experience them.
The Dinosaurs VR workshop transports students to landscapes filled with dinosaurs. Using immersive virtual reality, children stand face-to-face with a T-Rex, watch a Brachiosaurus feed, and witness the asteroid impact that changed everything. It's the kind of experience that creates lifelong science enthusiasts.
KS1 students explore different dinosaur types, compare features, and investigate what fossils tell us. KS2 students dig deeper into evolution, adaptation, geological time periods, and the evidence scientists use to reconstruct prehistoric life. Every activity builds enquiry skills.
Book a full-day visit and choose a different VR topic for every year group — making it super specific to each class's curriculum and exceptional value for money.
Each session includes a Virtual Reality segment where students are transported into immersive environments. Using class sets of VR headsets, children explore 360° recreations of scientific environments — from standing on melting ice caps to walking among dinosaurs.
Meet the three-horned giant of the Late Cretaceous. Students explore this herbivore’s massive skull with two large horns over its eyes and a smaller one on its nose — used for defence and display as it fed on low-growing vegetation.
VR SceneTravel back 250 million years to when the first dinosaurs appeared on the supercontinent Pangaea. Students discover how these early, small dinosaurs shared the Earth with sea reptiles and flying reptiles.
VR SceneDiscover how dinosaur bones found all around the world turned to stone over millions of years — buried under layers of dirt and sand. Students learn how scientists use special tools to date fossils from 230 to 66 million years ago.
VR SceneCome face-to-face with the most fearsome predator that ever walked the Earth. Students explore this massive carnivore’s powerful jaws and incredible bite force — one of the largest known land predators from 68–66 million years ago.
VR SceneExplore the iconic plated dinosaur with its distinctive back plates and spiked tail. Students discover how this herbivore lived during the Late Jurassic period and how its unique features helped it survive.
VR SceneExperience the last and longest period of the Mesozoic Era — spanning 79 million years. Students discover diverse species including T-Rex, Triceratops and Velociraptor, and witness the mass extinction event that ended the age of dinosaurs.
VR SceneStudents understand how living things change over time and adapt to their environments.
Students learn how scientists use fossils and evidence to reconstruct the past.
Students grasp the concept of deep time and how Earth has changed over millions of years.
Students can group and classify living things based on observable features and characteristics.
