The Museum includes the most productive Fossil Preparation Laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere, the Reception Centre and Collection Room, Dinosaur Canyon – featuring life-sized bronze dinosaur dioramas, the “March of the Titanosaurs” exhibition – housing Australia’s best-preserved sauropod tracksite, and the Gondwana Stars Observatory.

Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time so that you have time to purchase your tickets and to enjoy a cold or hot drink at the Cretaceous Café before your tour.
