Dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago and, while we no longer have dinosaurs (other than crocodiles), crashing about our countryside feasting on their chosen dietary faire, they remain a fascination for young and old alike.



The first dinosaur fossil discovery occurred in Victoria in 1903 and further discoveries have been a little slow off the mark. Since then, footprints have been discovered in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland, and bones have been found in Queensland, New South Wales, Northern Territory and South Australia.



For most of us, gazing upon the awesomeness of dinosaurs large and small, has been relegated to skeletons in a museum. However, thanks to the South Australian Museum , we get to see dinosaurs once again roaming in Dinosaur rEvolution.



Commencing on Friday 23 February through to Sunday 6 May 2018, dinosaurs will invade the Museum from 10 am to 5 pm each day, courtesy of Gondwana Studios . This exhibition will explore the thrilling world of dinosaurs and their ancestors, using animatronics, 3D models, close-to-life sized murals and fossil casts that you can touch!



While research has suggested that dinosaurs were covered with spikes, quills, horns and feathers, all in brilliant colours, Dinosaur rEvolution is breaking the mould and giving us a glimpse of the true, bizarre and complex nature of the evolution of Dinosauria.



This is a truly amazing exhibition which will be loved by the young and old alike. Tickets are $15 adults, $12 concession, $5 children 3-15 (must be accompanied by a paying adult), children under 3 are free and families (2 adults and up to 3 children) is $35. Museum members receive free unlimited VIP entry. Pre-sale tickets are also available; instructions for purchase are at the website . This is a great idea for Christmas gifts!

The Museum is located on North Terrace, Adelaide. Timed parking is available on Kintore Avenue and Victoria Drive, Adelaide or there are multistorey carparks not far away either in Gawler Place or North Terrace . However, why not make use of public transport and make it an adventure for the kiddies. Information on public transport can be found at the Adelaide Metro website .
