About Frightful Fun at Dynamic Earth

This month, discover how the creatures you fear are important to our planet.

• Join Blaize the Bat on an adventure through our exhibition to explore creatures past and present. As you journey through time, you’ll solve a puzzle and collect your very own Blaize the Bat mini-beanie at the end!

• Enter a world of eerie encounters in our free drop-in craft activities. We’re investigating creepy creatures, from carnivorous plants to vicious vipers!

• Our Planetarium team have some spooky shows in store, including our seasonal What’s Up: the Fright Sky show, alongside cult classics and new full dome film Fungi: the Web of Life.
Join us this October for activities that everyone can sink their teeth into.
