FAQ

Can I just walk in?

At this current time Dino Lab only offers guided tours by reservation. You can make a reservation on their website or by phoning them to book it in.

Are the fossils actually REAL?

Yes! It might seem crazy but they are real, with the exception of a few who’ve gotten a little help filling out with 3D technology. 

Can I touch the fossils?

Yes, though there are some exceptions. Your lovely tour guide will let you know which fossils you can and can not touch, as fossils can be very fragile.

Is it true that they let you uncover real fossils from rocks?

Yes, it’s true! From what they told us when we visited Dino Labs, the fossils visitors get to work on are ones they find quite frequently and not considered rare.
