Excellent example of a private institution doing scientific research and trying to support that research through outreach (although I hope some of their finance comes through government and academic resources - science shouldn't be 100% self-funded). As a visitor experience the centre does a great job in a small space. Guided tours are conducted at regular interviews (in Spanish) but there are many interesting exhibits and posters to examine, many with English translations. In addition to the museum of fossils there is a hands-on experience for children that is both enjoyable and inspiring for them. Highly recommended.

Es un lugar demasiado interesante, tienen una gran exhibición de fósiles de animales marinos, y también se puede observar la preparación de fósiles en vivo, ya que el centro de análisis su estructura hacia el museo es transparente por lo tanto, las personas pueden observar que realizan los paleontólogos dentro. La guía brindada es muy oportuna, el servicio es amable, son cálidos, agradables, siempre dispuestos a responder cualquier pregunta. El costo oscila para niños y adultos mayores el paquete de exhibición y excavación vale 8.500, la exhibición vale 4.500 para adultos la exhibición cuesta 9.000 y la exhibición y excavación cuesta 13.000, si vas con un niño tiene que hacer el de exhibición y excavación, además pueden crear su propia amonita y decorarla, es una experiencia que disfrutan demasiado. Es un sitio de interés y turístico que no debes perderte.

Is a good show of some of the species which walked in this territory in the past. Have good activities for the kids and they are planning to add more info and attractions for the visitor. Great time to learn about Colombian prehistorical history

The-place-to-be with little kids! They design the tour full of hands-on experiences for children including a craft, looking for the fossils and cleaning them. Loved it! Also it's a private organisation directed by a woman so: go women power!!!

Very interesting. I had no idea the largest "find" of prehistoric sea creature fossils is in Villa de Leyva, Colombia! I'm glad we went to check it out and would recommend it. The tour guide even gave our tour in English.
