TOURS
Picture
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 .

Sydney found an excellent fossil in oil shale.
Picture
An extinct straight coned nautiloid.
Picture
Fossils that have turned into pyrite found by McKenna.
Picture
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"
Picture
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.
Picture
Now for the tour and self tour.
Picture
Time for the cake and gifts.
Picture
And saving the best for last, the fossil hunt!
Picture
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.
