Extremely informative if you are interested in geological studies. Only a fairly small display but very interactive and educational. A number of hands on displays and audiovisual stories. The laboratory gives a real insight into how the whole process is undertaken. Well worth the visit.

This is a great, free MAGNT exhibition of some of the big, now extinct, animals of Central Australia. Good information about the Alcoota dig site, how they found it, some great models - even a chance to see some live clean up work of some fossils taking place. It's only small, so doesn't take long. Well worth a look.

Great experience and step into the era where you got to know the history during the Ice Age. It's free entry but close at 4pm so plan your time inside as there are also to read.

A very interesting place to learn more about the creatures that used to roam Australia. High quality exhibits. I was very happy to give them a donation for the experience. Thank you for making it free for the public.
