The Seaton Jurassic experience
At Seaton Jurassic we’ll take you on a journey like no other – back in time!
Share the excitement of the discoveries made by local fossil hunters, geologists and evolutionary-thinkers as they uncovered the stories of life on Earth. Travel aboard our time-ship back to the Jurassic World, 200 million years ago. (You’re in charge, you take the ship’s controls and decide which prehistoric creatures you meet!) Experience the fight for survival as you land in a giant rockpool! With loads of hands-on activities and a fun garden to explore you’ll have a great day out whatever the weather! Your adventure starts here…

Despite their namesake, mantis shrimp aren’t shrimp, but actually a group of animals called stomatopods, distant relatives to crabs, shrimp, and lobsters.
They are known for their strength, with ‘wrecking ball’ like fists which spring from their bodies at 50mph- they have even been known to break glass in aquariums!
