TOURS

Photo: The first tour after the museum renovations June 2017.

The museum is not yet large enough to have regular opening hours so guided tour dates need to be booked.
You can organize a tour for your group or if you are an individual or family you can get on to a tour list and when
there is a large enough group we will contact you and work out a date.
Check out some of the tours conducted over the last few years below .

CHURCH GROUPS

Museum tour With Immanuel Seventh Day Adventist Church, June 2018

Great crowd viewing the museum displays.

Winner of the fossil prize draw. An amazing piece of fossilized wood.

Pausing for a group photo. A great day of learning and fossil collecting!

HOMESCHOOLING GROUPS

GTA homeschoolers on a museum tour and fossil hunt May 2018

Q and A time at the opening introduction to fossils.

Guided museum tour..

Great weather takes the fossil hunt outdoors. Safety lesson and collecting tips to start off the fossil hunt.

Some cool nearly complete trilobites were found (Pseudogygites latimarginatus)

PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A local public school in May 2013 had a wonderful day of learning about our catastrophic past and collecting fossils.

Sydney found an excellent fossil in oil shale.

An extinct straight coned nautiloid.

Fossils that have turned into pyrite found by McKenna.

Facinating trilobite bits, tail (pygidium) and nose (glabella). For pyritized fossils
to form requires a low or no oxygen environment. Evidence of a quick and deep burial.

BIRTHDAYS

Birthday tour Sept. 2018
Turn an ordinary birthday into a "FOSSIL FUN FEST"

First an opening introduction on fossils. Ontario has some great trilobite fossils and in the lesson
they learned that evidence from the trilobite alone is enough to discredit the theory of evolution.

Now for the tour and self tour.

Time for the cake and gifts.

And saving the best for last, the fossil hunt!

An amazing trilobite (Bathyrus) tail was found.

Tour Feedback
Hi Martin, Marc,
Thank you both for such a wonderful day ... and the pics.
We learnt so much about fossils and the children were very engaged. This is a
great initiative for those seeking evidence for creation.
God bless your efforts.
