Fossil Preparation Lab Experience (Ages 14+)

Step into a real palaeontology lab and learn the art and science of fossil
preparation. 
In this immersive 2-hour experience, you’ll be guided by a professional
palaeontologist as you use authentic tools and techniques to uncover fossils that
have remained hidden for millions of years.
Perfect for enthusiasts, aspiring scientists, and anyone who loves natural history, our small-group sessions give you hands-on time with genuine specimens in a fully equipped preparation lab.
This is a rare chance to work behind the scenes and experience what it truly means to ‘free’ a
fossil from the rock.

Please note that our Palaeontology Lab is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by Spring 2026. All voucher holders will be contacted to arrange their booking. Once the experience has launched, descriptions and session times may be subject to change.
