Palaeontologists assemble, because the Isle of Wight might even give Patagonia a run for its money on the dinosaur front. While you can't personally pull gigantic stegosaurus spines from the soil, you can wander the marked fossil trails and delve into Dinosaur Isle in Sandown. That's packed with life-size models of the mighty iguanodon and polacanthus – 2 of the resident monsters discovered here. You'll keep the kids wide-eyed with wonder as you wander exhibits detailing the land's Jurassic and Triassic past, controlling robotic dinos and hearing pterodactyls cry overhead.
