Fun but not very Helpfulby Yahoo | 2008-12-04 01:21:53 |

The museum Provided Dinosaur remains, which were great to admire, However it doesn’t explain much about these Animals and the Human relationship, More will be needed to be done in the Educational field, like explaining that Dinosaurs aren’t Millions and Billions years Old, there is No evidence for this. And to show the Relationship between Humans and Dinosaurs. Like the Ancient Chinese’s and Latin Americans which show direct involved between humans and Dinosaurs. Put a good place to show the kids these Animals

A Real Educationby Yahoo | 2008-02-20 08:10:19 |

The National Dinosaur Museum strives to educate school aged children about the distant prehistoric past of both Australia, and the rest of the world. School groups have the option of taking a Day Tour or a Night Tour (less flexible but the most popular option - the Museum is completely dark, which gives it a slightly spookier atmosphere). The Museum also has plenty of information for older visitors, and there is truly something for everyone. All you need do is bring an interest in Science, Prehistory, Evolution or Dinosaurs specifically. There is an Australian section, as well as being labeled Australian specimens throughout the Museum.

I liked all the models and how well the dinosaurs were presented. I did not like all the darkness.It was very informal and interesting.I visited on a school camp.
