Triceratops: Eat, Roam, Repeat

25 October – 22 February 2026

Triceratops: Eat, Roam, Repeat gave you the chance to meet one of the most iconic dinosaurs of all time.

By studying its anatomy, you had the chance to find out its secrets. From the bird-like beak and spectacular frill to its three-horned face and rhino-like body. We learned how it lived, what it ate and how it survived the Cretaceous.

The exhibition started with an atmospheric glimpse into the world that Triceratops once inhabited, evoking the sights, sounds and creatures of the time. It then encouraged visitors to think like a palaeontologist, studying this incredible prehistoric animal to reveal fascinating stories from the distant past.

Junior palaeontologists also had fun with a series of hands-on, interactive elements, including a digital touch replica of the Triceratops skull that allowed you to feel its facial features to find out more about each one, as well as a fossil dig.

And at the heart of it all was a rare, 1.9–metre-long Triceratops skull, in Manchester for a limited time only.
