Find Us

Dinostar is on the corner of Humber Street and Queen Street close to Victoria Pier and Hull marina in the Fruit Market area of Hull city centre. We are a two-minute walk (or a ten-minute drive!) from The Deep.


If you are arriving by car, you should follow signs to Fruit Market from Castle Street (A63), or use post code HU1 1TH on your Satnav.


From the West: from the A63 (Castle Street) turn left onto Market Place (look out for golden King William on his horse); turn right onto Liberty Lane (look for the Fruit Market signs); turn right onto High Street, go under Myton Bridge and look out for Dinostar straight ahead of you.


From the East: as you come over Myton Bridge (next to the Tidal Barrier) take the slip road to the left. Turn left onto Queen Street, Dinostar is on your right.


There is free on-street parking with a three-hour limit in the surrounding area. There is the Fruit Market Multi-Storey Car Park on Blackfriargate (overlooked by Myton Bridge). At weekends there is an additional car park on High Street 200 yards south of Liberty Lane, a two-minute walk from Dinostar.
