Dinosaur fans of all ages will completely ‘dig’ the National Dinosaur Museum, located in Canberra’s Gold Creek Village. With one of the largest permanent displays of dinosaurs and prehistoric life in Australia, you’ll discover how dinosaurs evolved and interacted amid skulls, skeletons, murals, models and fossils not on display anywhere else in the world. There are even animatronic dinosaurs that move, roar, blink and breathe including the Big Dinosaur - a 20 metre long T Rex!
Wander through the lifelike models in the newly renovated and landscaped Dinosaur Garden, and browse Canberra's largest display of minerals, fossils and crystals for sale.
Tickets can be booked online through their website.

A great museum to take the kids. It's quite amazing what they fit into the building and surrounds. Fossils, animatronics, models, photos, instructive boards, and more. The museum covers two levels with the ground floor holding the gift shop and education areas, while the first floor is chock full of exhibits. Outside are play areas dominated by dinosaurs. Plenty of on site parking.

We visited with my 5-year-old son, and he had a good time looking at all the dinosaur displays. It’s a nice place for young dinosaur fans, but I think older kids or children who already know different dinosaur names, or can read the information themselves, would get much more out of the experience. Overall, it was an enjoyable visit, but it would have been even better if there were more interactive activities for younger children.

So much fun for little & big kids! So many interesting facts & fossils! Extra bonus is the play area as you leave letting the kids play out all the information they just read about

Kids loved this place it was very informative had lots for the kids to see only thing id suggest make a few hands on activities for the ... digging up fossils , dinosaur painting, things like that . They find information one is way to hard for the younger children to do the parents end up having to . This is a fantastic place for any family to visit and would highly recommend popping in to check it out .

A novelty museum designed primarily for kids. It has immersive rooms and designs with cool models throughout (and outside) and lots of family photo opportunities.
