You can party with dinosaurs in Edinburgh as they come alive for this night at the museum

The National Museum of Scotland are letting you get your teeth into their Jurassic exhibition by hosting a party with the dinosaurs.

In a chance to have a night at the museum, you can party with the paleaontologists this Friday alongside a host of different dino themed activities.

The museum is looking for people who think they have the T-Rex Factor to join in with their karaoke, as well as a silent disco, allowing you to boogie on down next to some prehistoric pals.

The event will also have a live band, a silent disco and some fact filled talks from paleaontologists about what it's like to work with creatures from millions of years ago.

Or if you fancy stepping into the shoes of a dinosaur themselves, you can dress the part with a themed dress up and selfie station, allowing you to get a perfect snapshot of your time in the Jurassic era.

The silent disco lets you choose between Modern Pop Hits, Silent Disco Classics or Jurassic Hits. (Chris Scott)

Claire Allan, Learning Manager at National Museums Scotland, said:

"We’re excited to present a packed programme for Museum Late: Jurassic Party.

"From themed comedy to the chance to get up close (but not too close!) with a baby T. Rex on the dancefloor as well as the chance to hear from leading palaeontologists, there will be something for every dinosaur fan.

"It’s a great opportunity to explore the museum after hours and see our Tyrannosaurs exhibition in a whole new light."

Think this prehistoric party is for you? Starting from 7.30pm, the event is priced at £20 per person and you can get your tickets here.

However if a late night isn't your cup of tea, the Tyrannosaurs exhibition itself is running at the museum until the 4th May, giving you plenty of time to learn about one of the world's most ferocious predators.
