    What an AMAZING experience, stopped by on a recommendation by a previous tour guide and we were blown away. Knowledgeable staff answered every question my son had explained things clearly. The research centre was incredible!

    Nice tour into the lab and did the tour where you get to find real dinosaur bones in the stone. Nice cafe. Good gift shop. Nicest staff you will ever meet. The only thing is that there is not much to do if you don’t pay for a tour.

    What a fascinating experience. Really enjoyed our visit. The timeline film really puts things into perspective, as do the replica bones of Cooper. The real bones of the titanosaurs are awesome. The painstaking work being done by volunteers and palaeontologists to clear the bones of the surrounding rock is amazing.

    We stayed in Quilpie and travelled the just 100 kms to Eromanga. We timed it for coffee and cake before the tour. The staff are amazing. Not only do they make great coffee, but they are very passionate about the work being done at the museum. You would not expect to find such a place in a remote township as Eromanga. If you're doing a road trip in outback l Queensland book a tour and call in.

    Well worth the short drive 1.5 hrs from Quilpie. The place is amazing and the guided tour was informative and very professionally delivered. Just mind blowing when you consider that this planet we call home is so much older than we think in terms of human life…just the car park indeed Looking forward to coming back when the next stage of development is completed
