Experience the thrill of excavation, just like a palaeontologist, in this simulated outdoor dig.

Please Note:

• Participants must be at least 5 years old, due to the age-specific program content, the hiking distance, and the use of tools.

• Participants must wear sturdy outdoor footwear, and bring water.
