Situated right on the sea front in Sandown in a spectacular building shaped like a giant pterosaur (the bat like masters of the Cretaceous sky), Dinosaur Isle is the country's only purpose-built dinosaur museum. Dinosaur Isle celebrates the Isle of Wight's exciting geological past in an indoor all-weather attraction that features life-sized model dinosaurs set on a recreated landscape. There are many hands on activities to try and visitors can watch as the experts work on the latest fossil finds, there is an activities room that in term time caters for schools and during the holidays for families. Guided fossil hunts, which must be pre booked, have proved to be a popular addition to a visit.
