SCHOOL EXCURSION PROGRAM

WHAT WE OFFER
Discover the world of dinosaurs with a tour of our facility and Australia's largest dinosaur fossil collection. Learn where we find dinosaurs, how we dig up their gigantic bones and how we clean away the rock they’re entombed in.

Students can experience working with real dinosaur bones. They may help prepare fossils or perhaps help us piece together a 100 million year old dinosaur. Students can also help us with the important task of finding new fossils by sieving soil from a real dinosaur dig site.



Visit us in Australia's largest
fossil preparation laboratory!
