A groundbreaking world-first live dinosaur production is coming to Birmingham in May this year, inviting families to step beneath the skin and bones of one of the most formidable predators in history.

Inside the T Rex is a 90-minute live interactive experience designed for curious families and children aged 6+. Combining documentary-level Jurassic science with large-scale staging, the production explores how the Tyrannosaurus rex is built for survival.

At the centre of the experience is a full-scale, scientifically recreated T. rex specially built to journey beneath the skin to really understand what built this predator. Presented in a dramatic theatrical setting. Through expert-led demonstrations and interactive science experiments, audiences discover how this apex predator moved, hunted and functioned.

From bite force and bone structure to balance, muscle mechanics and evolutionary adaptation, the show reveals how the T Rex body worked and why it dominated the planet for millions of years. To get hands on with its teeth and test its stomach contents to explore what it ate.

The production is carefully designed to be educational, age appropriate and immersive without being frightening. There are no horror elements or graphic content instead, families explore biology and evolution in a structured, engaging environment.

The team behind the production includes experienced presenters who have featured on major broadcasters including the BBC and Discovery Channel. With a background in delivering live anatomical and science events across the UK, the creators specialise in making complex scientific ideas accessible for younger audiences.

Throughout the 90-minute experience, families take part in hands-on demonstrations designed to encourage questioning and discovery. The aim is not simply to entertain, but to inspire future scientists.
