Step back in time for the last day of the dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs are coming to the Jurassic Coast in one of the most exciting exhibitions for visitors to The Old Bakehouse this summer.

The Jurassic Discovery centre in nearby Seaton is staging the 'Last Day of the Dinosaurs' exhibition, a unique adventure for families, dinosaur enthusiasts, and curious minds of all ages. The walk-through experience features life-like animatronic dinosaurs that bring the prehistoric giants back to life. Visitors will be able to move through realistic scenes depicting the diverse ecosystem that existed 66 million years ago, right up until the dramatic events that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Due to open today (July 27) and just in time for the school holidays, it’s a great opportunity to learn about different dinosaur species, their habitats, and behaviours through displays and informative exhibits. The state-of-the-art animatronics, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops and Pterodactyls, have been purchased from London’s Natural History Museum.

Jurassic Discovery is operated by Seaton Tramway. Chief Executive Officer Jenny Nunn said: “We are excited to unveil 'Last Day of the Dinosaurs' at Jurassic Discovery. This exhibition is not just about fun & entertainment; it’s about connecting people with the rich history of our planet, highlighting the magnificent Jurassic Coast on our doorstep and fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity. Our aim is to create an engaging, educational, and unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.”

The new exhibition is perfectly suited to the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage site which stretches 96 miles from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland bay in Dorset. It’s all a short drive for visitors staying with us at The Old Bakehouse in historic Colyton. You can also ride the Seaton Tramway from the Colyton tram station and arrive right next door to Jurassic Discovery.
