Digging Dinosaurs

Digging Dinosaurs

Early learners love these HUGE animals from a bygone era!

Hands-on Palaeontology

The kids will have a roaring great time as they learn about dinosaurs in this hands-on workshop designed to look at palaeontology in a realistic way.

  • Check out life-size replica of the Velociraptor dinosaur skull and come face to face with T-Rex!
  • Work like a real paleontologist; dig out and analyse the specimens found.
  • Find out how fossils are formed and how it’s easy to find them on the beach.
  • Feel replica dinosaur skin and compare it with modern animals.
  • Go beyond dinosaurs to look at Australian megafauna.
  • Make casts of ancient creatures to keep and more!
