When I was a kid, there was a park a few miles from where we lived that used to be part of "The Great Exhibition" in 1851 (sort of like a Victorian World's Fair). One of the "wonders" the Great Exhibition offered was "life sized dinosaurs". These dinosaurs were as accurate as known at the time (we are talking 160 years ago when paleontology was a newish science). By the time I was born, most of the Great Exhibition had gone and the land was just a park. But the dinosaurs still exist, and visiting the dinosaurs was one of my favourite treats as a kid. So I hope your grandson appreciated his day out as much as I used to appreciate similar trips when I was his age.

He did and thanks for that memory of your childhood. To me it was mediocre and they were not life sized (traveling basic animatronics display) but he still enjoyed it. I think we need to take him to a museum for complete dinosaur skeletons just so he can understand their size.
