A really great museum for a quick visit. Lots of information thou, you can either spend 10 minutes if you just look at stuff but, you can be there for an hour if you read and learn all the interesting facts about Nova Scotia and his geological richness. You're going to learn not only about the Canadian dinosaurs but, also about some cool and beautiful rocks that you can find in the region (Bay of Fundy) and in Nova Scotia. Our kids were amazed and we were too, really well organized and maintained museum. Now with COVID-19 it is sparkling clean and with some different security measures so, please call ahead or book online to make sure you won't lose your time.

Actually, more exhibits would help!

A small but very informative museum with a strong focus on the region’s fascinating geological history.

While I didn’t notice staff on the exhibit floor to answer questions, the gift shop was staffed and the person there was very friendly and helpful. The shop itself had some nice local and themed items, adding to the experience.
Overall, it’s a modest but engaging museum — a great way to spend an hour or so learning...
