Friday 19th July
Following his visits to Dorchester, Birmingham, Belfast and Glasgow, the Natural History Museum’s famous dinosaur is coming to Newcastle for a very special exhibition. Dippy the Diplodocus lived in London for over 100 years but now he’s on an adventure around the UK’s best family attractions. Unveiled to the British public in 1905, Dippy was cast from the type specimen found in America. The full skeleton is 21.3 metres long, 4.3 metres wide and 4.25 metres high. Enjoy a day out with Dippy and get inspired about the natural world!
As well as visiting Dippy there will be time to look around the rest of the museum. We have very limited spaces for this visit so please book early to guarantee your space. Information about transport will be sent upon booking.
Dippy on Tour: A Natural History Adventure has been organised by the Natural History Museum in partnership with the Garfield Weston Foundation.
