Dino Encounters Interactive Shows

Exposing children to science, history and experimentation experiences on a regular basis through incursions enables children to gain a sense of the world in which they live, has a positive impact on their social skills and provides a higher level of engagement to support their learning.

Passionate, expert presenters bring the past alive in Dino Encounters’ interactive shows, helping education providers enhance their children’s learning experience. The team are all highly skilled in their field of interest and are committed to providing an unforgettable close encounter experience to all participants. The kids will have so much fun, they won’t even realise how much they’re learning from these interactive shows.
