Dino Day at the Cole Museum of Zoology!

On Saturday 18th May as part of the University of Reading Community Festival, the Cole Museum of Zoology will be opening its doors to welcome everyone to our Dinosaur Day!

We will be hosting some fascinating talks given by our researchers, and you will have the opportunity to talk to some of our students about the exciting discoveries they’ve made on palaeontology field trips, and get up close to some fossils! There will be dinosaur-themed arts and crafts activities for the young and young-at-heart, and a range of dinosaur gifts for sale at the gift shop, should you want a cuddly crown-wearing T-rex or a glow-in-the dark dino skeleton to take away as a memento!

All activities and talks are completely free, so just drop in! Check out the events page on our website for updates on timings for the day.
