Dinosaurs Return

Bigger. Wilder. More Dinosaurs than ever. 

Looking for the best day out in Cornwall this summer? Step into a prehistoric world and explore one of the UK's most ambitious dinosaur experiences in this must-see, all-age adventure, as the Cretaceous Period comes roaring back to the Eden Project from 25 July – 6 September.

You can enjoy a visit to the Eden Project for less this summer, because we're taking part in the Government’s Great British Summer Savings scheme and reducing the cost of admission tickets and kids' meals – find out more.

Get ready for a prehistoric adventure

After more than a decade, one of the Eden Project's most loved family experiences returns to Cornwall this summer, reimagined for a new generation.

Hidden within the lost world of the tropics, 15 dinosaurs and flying reptiles await discovery in one of the world's largest indoor rainforests. Embark on your expedition through our Rainforest Biome and come face-to-face with a towering 40-foot Tyrannosaurus rex, colossal plant-eaters, hidden raptors lurking in the undergrowth and flying pterosaurs soaring overhead.

Some are impossible to miss, for others... you'll need to look a little closer.

See dinosaurs come to life on stage

At the heart of the programme is Dinosaur World Live – the internationally acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning show, that has captivated audiences in theatres around the world. 

This high-energy, 45-minute performance brings life-size dinosaurs to the stage through a mix of theatre, science and storytelling, captivating children and adults alike. 

Included in the price of admission, the 45minute live show will run three times a day, seven days a week, throughout the summer holidays.

This is an open-air theatre experience, and does not require a separate ticket.

Be brave, curious and careful – with your help we can learn to understand these awesome creatures.
