Took kids there to start off the March break and had a great time. There was so much to see! We did it at our own pace, which ended up being a good 2 &1/2 hours. The gift shop was reasonably priced which allowed for the kids to get a few items. It was an affordable and fun afternoon. The owners were so kind and gentle with the kids. We ended up buying a years pass and look forward to going back and keeping the gift shop in mind for future birthdays!

This is one of my favourite places to visit. The private collection is vast and varied and the owner loves to take you on a tour and give you lots of background information. Something for everyone including a good little dinosaur display. Don't miss the gift shop. It really is a hidden gem.

This museum is filled with many incredibly interesting and high-quality exhibits. The owner of the museum is very passionate about what he does and it shows. He is very knowledgeable about everything in the museum and I learned a lot of great information in a fairly short amount of time. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in stones, dinosaur bones, taxidermied animals, etc.

love all the info you can get doing the tour. If you decide not to do the tour you can still learn so much and see so many interesting things. We usually go at least twice a year and everything we learn something new. Great place to hang out with your family on a rainy day.

A large amount of fossils from all over the world and an excellent selection of artifacts from the surrounding area. A supremely preserved butterfly and moth display.

Our family planned a visit to this museum as an educational experience for our 4 children. There weren't many visitors when we arrived, which allowed us a personal experience with the owner. He is a wealth of knowledge regarding his collection which we found to be wonderful for our kids. The museum itself is much larger than you would expect upon arrival. We all enjoyed seeing the exhibits!What we could have done without, were some verbally expressed judgments made by the owner whom should know better when running a business. If one must say "It's none of my business, BUT..."... Maybe it shouldn't be said at all.

We've been going to Canatara for over 60 years; love this old park! It hasn't changed too much over the years and that's fine with us. While the beach was our focus in times past, we now just like to have a quiet picnic and visit with family.

Been here a few times with my family in the past. Lots of neat things to see. The owner was awesome. Ask to see his tanzinite gem he carries around. Amazing!

After hearing about the museum for a couple of years I finally visited and was amazed at the collection: dinosaurs, rare fossils, crystals, lions, bears and so much more. The staff are friendly and entertaining and the cost is very reasonable. A definite gem.
