It’s Hot Dino Summer at Nanaimo Museum!
There are so many dino-themed activities here at the museum while the Dinosaurs of BC exhibit is on display! Tuesdays through Sundays, play I Spy: Dinosaurs or Trackway Hunters, learn to Move like a Dinosaur, hop along a dino hopscotch, and meet Buster, BC’s Dinosaur!
On Saturdays, Sundays, and Stat holidays, come out for Dino Dig Days! Sift through kinetic sand to find shells, replica dinosaur fossils, and even coal! Exchange your finds for a dinosaur-themed prize to take home. (Just like a real paleontologist, everything you dig up must stay at the museum!)
Hot Dino Summer is fun for all ages, and available from 10am-4pm Tues-Sun from June 27-Sept 1 & 10am-9pm on Thursdays. Dino Dig Days is fun for ages 3+ and is available 10am-4pm Saturdays, Sundays, and Stat holidays. Admission is by donation. Summer camps can book a museum visit or Dino Dig program by contacting Steph Kveton, program coordinator: ([email protected])
