Cliffe Castle Museum

Dinosaur Detective

Learners go on a dinosaur adventure!

They explore dinosaur features by looking at and handling real dinosaur fossils.

They also have the opportunity to explore other fantastic fossils.

Pupils use special notebooks to record their dinosaur findings and have lots of chances to discuss their ideas on an exploration throughout the museum.

This workshop compliments the Mary Anning: How to find a fossil and can be booked on the same day to create a whole day immersive on topic experience!
