There is no hiding from the fact that Dinosaurs are super popular right now. Over the last couple of years they have been all the rage. 2022 saw a massive increase in Dino related events and that looks set to continue in 2023. We have always been big dinosaur fans and have seen quite a few over the years. It is just so fascinating to think that these huge animals once lived on this very planet.
I have tried to find as many places in the North East as possible, with some a bit further out and added an event section too, which I will update throughout the year.
