Description:
The Ambassador Theatre is located at the top, north end, of Dublin's main street, O'Connell Street. Its prime location makes it a famous, albeit not particularly loved, landmark. For many years, the building ran as a cinema, until the last decade when it was leased by the promotions company MCD, who used it primarily for live music events. In 2009, the venue was used to host the "Bodies" exhibition, and at the time of writing, the local city council are considering using it as a library. Over the years bands like Quasi, DJ Shadow, Frank Black, Ash and Queens of the Stone Age played here. Upstairs featured a seating area, whilst downstairs was standing-room only. As a music venue it was mediocre, the sound was never particularly good, and the venue felt old and uncared for, with sticky floors, peeling walls, and was either too hot or too cold depending on the weather conditions.Location: 1, Upper O'Connell Street, Dublin 1

Nobody has ever seen a living dinosaur, but scientists can give us a good idea of what they looked like and how they moved. We often imagine dinosaurs as colossal flesh-eating beasts that lived on our planet for an incredible 160 million years. Some were indeed gigantic, but many were only as heavy as a Labrador dog and many were vegetarian! Did you know that the Ornithomimus could run faster than an Olympic sprinter? See how the sociable Triceratops lived in herds, caring for and protecting their young. Meet Dilophosaurus, a relative of the first dinosaur found in Scotland. Come face to face with the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the fiercest land predators ever known. This massive animatronic model, 4 metres tall and 7 metres long, is so lifelike you’ll think it’s the real thing! Walk past the head of a hungry Tyrannosaurus and watch as his terrifying jaws go SNAP!
