Description

Teach Rex is coming back to The Box at FarGo Village! After receiving over 2000 5* reviews for their events and selling out The Box @ Fargo Village three previous times, the award winning Teach Rex team are delighted to be bringing this unique, interactive show back to the families of Coventry on the first week of the summer holidays! Teach Rex uses life-like dinosaurs to perform their 1 hour show, teaching children about the anatomy and life of one the most mesmerizing creatures that have ever roamed our planet. The show is teamed with effects, music and gives children and their families the chance to get up close and personal with these fantastic, realistic beasts. Children will be greeted by baby dinosaurs and given a ‘Dino Booklet’ which includes a variety of educational activities. You will also be provided with coloured crayons, all that is included in the price of a ticket, in this educational experience delivered by teachers. The new show will delve into the jaws of one of the most iconic dinosaurs to ever roam the world, the TREX! Delivered by primary school teachers, the team will take the audience on an interactive, prehistoric journey, pinpointing misconceptions surrounding the velociraptor and the audience will learn how this iconic beast would have actually looked. Meet various TREXS and a velociraptor, giving the audience a realistic insight into these fascinating creatures. The show is suitable for children of all ages (3+ recommended) and has even proven to be extremely popular with adults. The educational part of the show runs for approximately 45 minutes followed by a dinosaur meet and greet when families can get photographs next to the beasts whilst enjoying a dance. 10.00am – 11.30am Doors open at 10.00am and show time will start at 10.10am. Show time will finish at 11.10am. The meet and greet will start at 11.10 – 11.30. Merchandise and beverages will be on sale during this time. Please note – this event is sold as a 1.5 hour slot to give everybody time to get pictures with the dinosaurs and to have a drink (if wanted) at the end of the show.
