For one-day-only, we’re encouraging visitors to explore our hands-on exhibits in true dino style – whether you choose a huge inflatable T-rex suit, or stomp around in a triceratops onesie.

Take a video of yourself roaring at an Allosaurus in The Big Dino Den or snap a toothy selfie in a giant dino egg – Life will award the best-dressed visitor with a year’s membership for up to 5 people!

To enter, simply share your snaps with us on Instagram / Facebook or email them to us at competitions@life.org.uk.
