How much do you know about dinosaurs? Let Ben Garrod be your guide

Those are exactly the questions Professor Ben Garrod will be exploring when he takes the “most up-to-date dinosaur show in 66 million years” on the road. Ideal for anyone aged 5+, Ultimate Dinosaurs will take in dates including November 4 at Guildford’s Electric Theatre.

Dinosaurs have always held a special place in our collective fascination: “I don't really know why,” Ben admits, “but I do think part of it is that it's a really safe way to explore our fears. I can remember being scared in the dark and also you always felt that there were potential monsters under the bed. And with dinosaurs especially things like T Rex we all learn that they have got teeth the size of bananas but the point is that we can learn that in safety. It's like saying just how dangerous they were but the point is that you will never come face to face with a T Rex… though you might with a great white shark or a tiger. We learn that T Rex was one of the most dangerous animals that ever existed but we also learn that we are actually separated from it by 66 million years of extinction.”
