"They will have the chance to meet a...dinosaur, see an interactive dinosaur show and planetarium session and a range of other cool activities.

"We know children like dinosaurs and if we can start them early and teach them using fun activities, we'll be doing something right."

The centre will be closed off to the public to make way for the ticketed event that will run in two sessions, on from 10am until 12pm and the other from 1pm until 3pm.

Ms Holdaway said she wanted children to know they can enjoy a career in science and other similar fields.
