Sunday Tours and Discovery Workshops for Children

Dinosaur tour

Sunday Dinosaur Tours

The Museum is open on Sunday afternoons for visits by individuals or families. Every Sunday there is an informal bilingual introduction to the museum's dinosaur collection, including the new Triceratops skull (collected under permit from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum), the Gorgosaurus, Dromaeosaurus and the link between dinosaurs and birds. This presentation is given by Bruno Paul Stenson. No reservations necessary. Everyone welcome.
