The adventure begins
The experience starts the moment you arrive. At check-in, young explorers receive a welcome goodie bag with dinosaur plushies and a letter from The Park Plaza Discovery Team, revealing that a long-sealed study has been uncovered within the hotel.
The Lost Study
Families must follow the clues to find the secret study, then explore the suite to uncover specimen drawers, Natural History Museum books and games, and a hidden door, concealed within a bookcase that leads to a children's bunk bed bedroom inspired by a T. rex from the Cretaceous Period.
A prehistoric discovery
The adventure continues across the hotel with Sir Richard Owen's Dinosaur Discovery Trail. Young explorers can meet helpful team members, search for hidden dinosaurs, record their discoveries and return to reception to claim their Certificate of Palaeontology.
