Trix the T-Rex

Have you always wanted to come face to face with a T-Rex? Trix and many other dinosaurs are waiting for you in our dinosaur gallery. Our dinosaur gallery has an extra high ceiling so it can house our 11-meter-tall Camarasaurus.

Rexperience

Meet Trix, the imposing T-Rex! Sixty-six million years ago, the earth was inhabited by dinosaurs. Imagine being able to travel back in time and running into a T-Rex… what would you do? Join in with the Rexperience and enjoy a prehistoric adventure. Track the T-Rex together and meet the real Trix!

The Rexperience is suitable for kids aged 8 and up. A visit to Naturalis is free of charge with a Netherlands Museum Pass. A small surcharge of €2 on your museum ticket gives you full access to the amazing Rexperience.
