Dino Park

Dinosaur Park in Crystal Palace was built in 1854. Visionary Sir Joseph Paxton didn't have a lot to work from, it being 6 years before Darwin published his Origin of Species. The resulting life size statues are all out of proportion, with grotesquely large heads and feet and way to many teeth. For a 2 year old kid, this is just Awesome.

Its free and has just had a £70million refurb.

These where the very first 3D dinosaur sculptures in the world.

Tara takes it all in her stride
