Incredible Miseum - This museum Set up on the top of a jump up is a must see in Winton. The dinosaur footprints, the canyon walk, the research lab and video were all excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable guides enhanced the experience. Great gift shop and cafe too

Billions of years of history in our backyard! - Outstanding! I had no idea what was really in our backyard. Take the time and hire a car (take a tour) but visiting the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum and enjoying the 4-hour tour experience is an experience you will treasure always. What has been created in such a short time is outstanding and mind blowing. What the founders have done is nothing short of remarkable to preserve billions of years of history and facts. Definitely must be on your list.

Nice Dino Experience - It is an excellent, well-organized tour. The young man (I don't remember his name) was informed, well-versed, and genuinely interested in the dinosaur bones and history. Not knowing what to expect and not being a 'dinosaur person, I really enjoyed my time there particularly the lab.

Worth visiting - This place is not to be missed. There are a variety of tour options available, at various prices so it is good to ask for details first. As my husband cannot walk very far we chose to see the laboratory (which we could drive to, and there was seating available) and then the film and narrative. This only cost us $35 each instead of the option 1 which was $70 each (concession). We were also hugely impressed by the building itself, which blends into the surrounding environment beautifully and has an amazing view out over the valley below.

Dinosaur Discovery Winton - Very informative tour that included a visit to the preparation lab, the Collection Room and the footprints exhibition (Dinosaur Canyon Tour). Very good standard of facilities and exhibits. It was interesting to be able to talk with the volunteers that were painstakingly removing the fine rock/dirt to expose the fossilised bone. Highly recommended.
