Come and discover the prehistoric world with Dino Adventure at Knebworth House on 18th August 10:30 am to 5:00 pm (last admission to the House, Park & Gardens 4:00 pm). Aspiring palaeontologists and brave explorers can face the trail of 72 life-sized dinosaurs located in the Wilderness Garden. Exploring the woodland paths, children can learn about the T-Rex, the Woolly Mammoth and other fascinating pre-historic creatures. There are information boards throughout the Dinosaur Trail and a huge chalk board for creating ‘cave-man drawings’. Look out for the wind-up sound box to hear the dinosaur roars.
The Dino Adventure Trail Sheet can be purchased from our lovely Gift Shop on the day for £1 (sold separately to Park & Gardens admission, last sheet sold 3:00 pm, dinosaur activities end 4:00 pm). Adventurers who complete the Trail Sheet by finding all the dino eggs can claim an exciting reward!
