As the name suggests, the island is an international renown location for fossils and you can visit the interactive museum to find out more about the finds from over the years and the work of the archaeologists on the island.

For nearly a century the Museum of Isle of Wight Geology, above Sandown Library, housed the Island's geology and fossil collections. On August 10th 2001 this changed with the opening of Dinosaur Isle, a purpose built interactive museum which replaced the old museum. Dinosaur Isle provides the space and facilities to properly display and conserve the rich geological collections. Dinosaur Isle is managed by the Isle of Wight Council and cost £2.7 million, half of which was provided by a Millennium Commission grant. The new museum is located on Culver Parade, a short distance from the old building, and was designed by local architects Rainey Petrie Johns in the shape of a giant pterodactyl. The interior was designed by Leicester based Haley Sharpe Design, who employed an array of sub-contractors to make everything from showcases to rock re-constructions to full sized fleshed dinosaurs!

Fantastic for a rainy day, here you will see many fossils found locally, see models of some of the dinosaurs found here and learn about the geological history of the island. They also do fossil walks on Yaverland Beach immediately under the holiday park. You'll probably spend 2-3 hours here depending on what else they have going on. Entrance fees are reasonable at time of writing. Its an easy 10-15 minute walk from the Chalet, there is car parking if you can't manage that but you have to pay.
