Manchester Museum’s latest dinosaur exhibition has landed - and it's totally roar-some

Step into a story millions of years in the making as Manchester Museum welcomes 'Triceratops: Eat, Roam, Repeat', a vibrant new exhibition that turns dino-curiosity into discovery.

Completely free to visit, the exhibition's headline attraction is a true showstopper: a 1.9-metre-long Triceratops skull - in Manchester for a limited time only.

Seeing it up close is a rare chance to stand face-to-face with a prehistoric icon and understand why this iconic three-horned giant remains one of the most famous dinosaurs of all time.

By studying its anatomy, you’ll find out all its secrets, from the bird-like beak and spectacular frill to its three-horned face and rhino-like body. Learn how it lived, what it ate, and how it survived the Cretaceous.

Drawing on the museum’s deep knowledge and research in palaeontology, the exhibition brings the latest thinking to life in a way that’s fun, friendly, and easy to enjoy.

Colourful displays make complex ideas feel delightfully graspable. This vibrant new exhibition blends big science with big smiles.

Little hands can get busy at a hands-on fossil dig, while a digital touch replica of the Triceratops skull invites visitors to feel its facial features and discover what each one reveals about feeding, movement and defence.

Throughout, you’re encouraged to think like a palaeontologist, looking closely, asking good questions, and piecing together clues from deep time, with plenty to enjoy - whether you’ve popped in for half an hour or planned a full family day out.

It’s learning by doing, seeing and feeling; the kind of environment where early years can explore confidently, older kids can take the lead, and grown-ups can dive into detail without anyone being left behind. In short, it’s
