    Great displays of the park. I love the 3D topographical map. Get a feel for the animals of the park. Good gift shop. Friendly informative ranges to answer your questions.

    Friendly staff, nice museum and great video (ask for it). If you bump into any fossil, take pictures, mark in your gps, go to the visitor centre to fill the form and get a nice badge for your finding and reporting of that great discovery! Totally worth the visit! One of the most beautiful scenery and wildlife spotting. If this post helped you please give us a like 🤗 Cheers!
