Travel back in time to walk among dinosaurs. This immersive VR workshop brings the prehistoric world to life, exploring evolution, adaptation and Earth's dynamic geological processes in virtual reality. 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, explore Triceratops territory, 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.
Come face-to-face with the most fearsome predator that ever lived. Students explore this 12-metre, 7-tonne carnivore — its 60 banana-sized teeth, bone-crushing bite and remarkable eyesight.
VR SceneBecome a palaeontologist. Students find out how bones buried deep in the ground turned to stone, and how scientists use hammers, chisels and brushes to dig fossils out without breaking them.
VR SceneTravel back more than 200 million years to when the first dinosaurs appeared on the supercontinent Pangaea. Students meet early dinosaurs such as Eoraptor — small, fast and about the size of a large chicken.
VR SceneMeet the three-horned giant of the Late Cretaceous. Students explore this 9-metre herbivore's horns and protective frill, and the parrot-like beak it used to bite off tough plants.
VR SceneExperience the final and longest age of the dinosaurs, lasting 79 million years. Students discover the most diverse range of species, giant sauropods, flying pterosaurs and the first flowering plants.
VR SceneWitness the extinction event that ended the age of the dinosaurs. A 10 km-wide asteroid struck what is now Mexico 66 million years ago, throwing up so much dust that the sky went dark for months.
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.
