Easter Breakaways to the Isle of Wight
Easter holiday trips to the Isle of Wight with Wightlink Holidays (0870 582 0202/ www.wightlink.co.uk) include an attraction-packed day trip to Dinosaur Isle and the opportunity to sample some of the Island's natural produce by taking the Taste of Wight Trail:
Family Treasure Hunts for fossils - not eggs: Visit Europe's first purpose-built dinosaur museum - Dinosaur Isle - during the Easter Holidays on 5th, 6th or any day between 12th and 16th April and families can join a pre-historic fossil hunt at nearby Yaverland (call 01983 404344 to book). Back at Dinosaur Isle they can meet up with Dextor the Neovenator, the Isle of Wight's first animatronic dinosaur, and check out a host of inter-active exhibits that bring the dinosaur age to life. These range from a sandbox where you brush away the sand and find a long dead seabed to a 'feelbox' where you can stick your hand into the dark and guess what you're feeling - including pointed carnivore teeth and dinosaur poo. General entry into Dinosaur Isle for a family of four costs just £12 and the fossil hunt is £7.
