School visit information

Melbourne Museum is the Home of Dinosaurs! Laugh, squeal and gasp – as you begin your day in the museum’s theatre and discover the most amazing facts about the dinosaurs in the Melbourne Museum. Who had the longest neck in the world? The sharpest teeth? The biggest head? Which dinosaurs were found in Victoria?

End the theatre program with one very small baby visitor – who will it be?

Then make your way to Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs exhibition, Dinosaur Walk exhibition and Gandel Gondwana Garden to see the dinosaurs ‘for real life!’.
