The collection features more than 1,000 fossils, walking visitors through the island's history from the Cretaceous Period to the Ice Age. Across the dino gallery, visitors can find fossils and skeletal reconstructions, as well as a pair of animatronic dinosaurs, guaranteed to entertain the little ones.
