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.
