Review
Being only a stones throw away from Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, it seems only fitting for Devon to have its very own dinosaur world. This interactive visitor attraction has boldly introduced life sized replicas of these amazing but complex creatures and with a wide collection of fossils on display, you’ll be amazed, let alone educated after your visit here. As you make your way to this attraction from wherever your coming from, you just have to remember that it is on the Main Street in Torquay, known as Victoria Parade, so there is no parking here, but non of that really matters as the town centre has some good car parks, only just a stones throw away from the exhibition itself. An absolute must here at Torquay’s Dinosaur World is to touch the Dinosaur Poo, if you dare! This is a great little attraction and most certainly well worth the admission price.
