Thanks to Wolverhampton Art Gallery - you can.
Join them for an exciting week of dinosaur adventure featuring fossil facts, drawing, model making and stories all aimed at children aged from 7 to 11.
Every day from Monday 31 July to Friday 4 August Dinosaur School students can enjoy a packed 10.30am to 3pm timetable.
The week kicks off with dinosaur drawing, where you can learn to make fossil drawings like a palaeontologist.
On Tuesday it is all about the 'Eggosaurus' and the chance to make a baby dinosaur nest in a neat little box to take home.
It's 'Dinosaur Diorama' on Wednesday where students can learn how to make their own 3D dinosaur landscapes to take home and play dinosaur games.
T-Rex Thursday is a team building day when everyone gets together to create a big dinosaur sculpture.
And on Friday it is all about fossils, when the young palaeontologists get an exclusive look at some of the gallery's extensive geological collection of fossils.
The Dinosaur School costs £15 per child per day or £50 for the week and can be booked by calling 01902 552038.
Holiday fun at the gallery leaves the dinosaurs behind and jumps forward in time with a new summer school where junior Egyptologists can discover more about the pyramids, hieroglyphs and what it was like to grow up in Ancient Egypt.
From Monday 7 August to Wednesday 9 August children aged 7 to 11 can see and handle Ancient Egyptian objects, make their own shabtis and amulets as well as learn to write secret messages in hieroglyphics.
The school, run by Wolverhampton Art Gallery's education team, is from 10.30am to 3pm and costs £15 per day or £40 for all three. You can book by calling 01902 552038.
Councillor John Reynolds, City of Wolverhampton Cabinet Member for City Economy, said: "The education team at the gallery are running two great value for money summer schools to keep children entertained during the long holidays as well as some fun 1 day workshops. We've also some great family friendly exhibitions on including the Natural History Museum's 52nd World Wildilfe Photography show."
