Newcastle Showground Tours and Activities

#walkingwithdinosaurs - its an incredible show to see. The dinosaurs are very real looking and the narrator takes you on the journey back into time where you feel you are there. (an fantastic learning experience). Worth viewing but it is expensive. Our advice - look out for hot deals. We managed to get half price tickets. I would also recommend for ages 6+ . Found younger children may find it a little scary and it can be loud.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
The hotel is conveniently located, and the staff are obliging and friendly. I did find my room quite cold but as it was humid outside, it didn't bother me greatly.
