IMAGINE yourself in the dark being stalked by a giant dinosaur 125million years ago.
Well, that’s exactly the spooky experience in store for children and their families at Dinsoaur Isle Museum in Sandown this Halloween.
Brave visitors are being asked to explore the sights and sounds of the award winning museum with the lights turned off on 31 October.
Courageous visitors are being asked to equip themselves with torches and fancy dress as they visit the museum on Culver Parade during the most haunted night of the year.
Sound effects will be kept on but the lights will be out as you navigate the museum’s “Fright Night” with the aid of suitably dressed staff.
The most stout hearted can even come along without torches and feel their way around completely in the dark – aided and abeted by staff.
There will be games, scary dinosaur story telling and even the chance to discover what minerals exposed to flourecesnt light look like – prepare to be surprised!
Dr Martin Munt the museum curator said: “This will be a very different way to encounter the dinosaurs at the museum – a way that normally only staff get to see.
“You will either have great fun, or be very scared or hopefully both. You will need to bring a torch with you in order to help find your way around.
“Or don’t bring a torch and rely on others yourself if you are really brave.”
