The Dinopétrea Exhibition comes to Málaga: The return of the dinosaurs

If you don’t know your T. rex from your stegosaurus – or even if you do – then how about a visit to the ‘Dinopétrea’ showcase, running at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos in Málaga until 24 June?

Billed as a scientific, educational and fun exhibition for families, ‘Dinopétrea’ brings together skeletons – and replicas – of dinosaurs that roamed the planet 125 million years ago and fish that swam the seas 25 million years ago, as well as mammals dating back more than 10,000 years.

There are interactive exhibits, too. For younger kids there’s an area where they can dig for real fossils, just like paleontologists do, and if they find one they also get to keep it! Plus there’s the opportunity to open a geode and discover the crystals hidden inside, while also finding out about the Isle of Wight-sized asteroid that ended the reign of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

The exhibition – at Málaga’s Palacio de Ferias y Congresos – is open Mondays to Fridays from 10am to 2pm & 5pm to 8pm; and from 11am to 8pm at weekends.
