Join Angelina the Archaeologist for a prehistoric adventure!
Calling all future fossil hunters! Step into the boots of a real palaeontologist and become an official apprentice at the Palaeontology Academy.
Guided by Angelina the Archaeologist, young explorers will embark on an exciting hands-on journey to uncover the secrets of the dinosaurs.
Young explorers will:
- Take part in a guided dinosaur dig and uncover hidden fossils.
- Complete their very own Palaeontology Field Journal with observations, sketches and discoveries.
- Piece together dinosaur skeletons and learn how scientists reconstruct prehistoric creatures.
- 'Egg-scavate' a mystery dinosaur egg and uncover the surprise hidden inside.
- Investigate fossil clues and discover what life was like in the Land Before Time.
Through imaginative play, scientific discovery and hands-on exploration, kids will learn how palaeontologists uncover and interpret evidence from millions of years ago.
Every apprentice will leave with new skills, exciting discoveries and a deeper appreciation for the incredible world of dinosaurs.
All workshop materials are provided.
Participants aged 12 and under must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian.
