Look out! Dinosaurs have invaded Bristol Aquarium and are staying around for the whole of the Easter holidays!
This month, Bristol Aquarium is taking visitors around the world, and back in time to celebrate Prehistoric Sealife.
Pterosaurs will fly over the water just like they would have done millions of years ago, scouting for fish, and new dinosaurs will be displayed in the Bay of Rays exhibit. The new dinosaurs are a Guanlong, a Baby Iguanodon and an Ankylosaurus.
Prehistoric Sealife will be running from the 1-16 April and visitors can expect to learn from Aquarists about creatures like Megalodons, Ichthyosaurs, Tylosaurus’ and many more. Guests can also dig for the fossils of ancient sea creatures like ammonites which paleontologists use to piece together the past.
Mark Eastment, Operations Supervisor at Bristol Aquarium, said, “We’re all really excited to welcome three new dinosaurs into our Bay of Rays exhibit!
“We have a replica jaw of a Megalodon in the Learning Lab here, so it’s always great for staff to teach children about the prehistoric predator that ruled the sea. We hope our guests are looking forward to learning about the other fascinating creatures that inhabited the ocean all those years ago.”
Bristol Aquarium is situated on the historic harbourside and takes visitors on an underwater adventure through the world’s oceans. For more information and to purchase tickets visit www.bristolaquarium.co.uk or call 0117 929 8929.
