Fossils Galore

Fossils Galore in March brings palaeontology close enough to see, handle and ask questions about. Its displays and hands-on activities introduce visitors to fossils, prehistoric life and the work involved in identifying and preparing finds. The attraction has a strong family appeal, but the real objects and local discoveries give curious adults plenty to explore too.

Cambridgeshire’s deep past is far older than the familiar fenland waterways: fossils reveal environments and creatures from earlier chapters of the region’s history. Take time to look at how evidence is found and interpreted, rather than only at the finished specimens. Activities and displays can change, so check current visitor information before planning a particular experience.
