Great fun! Also that you can "excavate" your own fossils! Edit: A reply from the owner! Thank you for reliving my holiday almost 4 years ago. My kids still sometimes talk about the visit and we still have some fossils laying on the display table

We came here because of the museum. We found it very interesting and were impressed by how large and thick fossilized fossils there were. And entry is free, really great for free! It's worth taking a trip here. There is a kind of pit near the parking lot where you can search for it yourself. You can either bring your own hammer, chisel and safety glasses, or rent them for money at the museum entrance. We found some things without any tools, just turned over a few stones and we had complete fossilizations.

The museum was free and there were no waiting times. At reception you were provided with flyers and information. Elevator for strollers available. It was very interesting. The kids had the most fun tapping with a hammer and chisel. We already had material with us. A detour there is worth it.

We first went to the tapping place with our daughter, where we had a lot of fun. She and we were thrilled by what came out when we tapped. Afterwards we went to the museum, where we also found it very exciting and interesting.

A must for all young paleontologists. It was difficult to remove our 11-year-old son from the “digging site”.
