Get ready for a prehistoric adventure like no other! Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham is bringing back its beloved dinosaurs for an action-packed summer season, and I can't wait to dive into the details.
A Dino-Mite Summer at Magna
From July 18th to September 4th, 2026, Magna will be transformed into a Jurassic wonderland with its Dig, Dino, Discover program. The highlight? Ferocious Fridays, featuring the return of RentaDinosaur's interactive show, 'How to Train Your Dinosaur.'
Each Friday, a new dinosaur will take center stage, offering a unique experience for visitors. But the fun doesn't stop there. Throughout the day, these majestic creatures will roam Magna's halls, inviting visitors of all ages to get up close and personal.
Hands-On Dino Activities
In addition to the live shows, Magna has an exciting lineup of dinosaur-themed activities. Young explorers can unleash their inner volcanologists in the Volcanoes Workshop, where they'll build and erupt their own volcanoes. For budding paleontologists, the Fossil Dig Workshop provides a hands-on experience with genuine fossils.
Dino Storytime and Crafts
Magna has something special for the little ones too. Under 5s can enjoy Dino Story and Play sessions, combining storytelling with imaginative free play. And for those with a creative streak, Dino Crafts sessions offer the chance to make their own dinosaur-themed masterpieces.
A Summer of Fun and Learning
The summer program at Magna promises a unique blend of entertainment and education. With access to Magna's existing attractions, like the Aqua-Tek splash park and Sci-Tek Adventure Playground, it's a family-friendly destination.
