Very fun and interesting! We spent the whole day exploring the museum and caves. My children especially loved the boat ride and the fossil displays.
The boat ride was my favorite part. It was peaceful and exciting at the same time. I learned so much about how humans lived long ago.
Our kids learned a lot during the visit. The guides were patient, the displays were fun, and everything was well explained. We’ll definitely come back again.
Cool caves and friendly guide. I liked walking through the tight spaces underground and seeing where real fossils were found. A great mix of fun and education.
We saw real fossils and learned how scientists study them. The place is beautiful, and the whole experience was very special for both me and my family.
