Dinosaurs in Hull?


Are There Dinosaurs in Hull?

Photobucket

Yes there are, in an excellent, privately owned Dinosaur Museum named DINOSTAR http://www.dinostar.co.uk/ in the old town of Kingston Upon Hull. The museum is housed in a former fruit warehouse and although small is packed full of things to touch and see.

Raphael is a big dinosaur fan, this photo was taken in the local garden centre cafe! They were kind enough to provide these as entertainment whilst we waited for our food.

Raffi absolutely loves anything to do with dinosaurs and I thought he would love a visit to Hull's only dinosaur museum. We found it on the corner of Humber Street and Queen Street, two-minutes' walk from The Deep, Victoria Pier and the Marina. So plenty of other things for us to do if necessary. Once inside there were plenty of exciting things to see and touch...

If you are visiting, and I would throughly recommend it, you should follow signs to the Fruit Market from Castle Street (A63).

Parking is available in Blanket Row "Pay & Display" Car Park or there is free parking in nearby streets with a two-hour limit.

Admission is £3 for adults, £1.50 for children and senior citizens.

Raphael and I spent a great afternoon adventuring at the museum.
