The Australian Age of Dinosaurs is open seven days a week and has a cafe, gift shop, toilets and outdoor eating area. Several ticket options are available, and today, we will show you the Ultimate Tour's highlights, including a self-guided walk of the Dinosaur Canyon and guided tours of the March of the Titanosaurs exhibition, the Collection Room and the Fossil Preparation Laboratory. This tour takes four hours to complete.

We started the day by catching a ride on the Noble Express and then enjoyed a leisurely walk along Dinosaur Canyon. This outdoor exhibition is situated along a 300-metre elevated pathway and features life-sized bronze dinosaurs, flying reptiles, and incredible views. These exhibits have been designed to recreate life as it would have appeared during the Cretaceous Period, 100 Million years ago.

Next, we met our guide for the “March of the Titanosaurs” exhibition tour. The 54-metre-long Snake Creek tracksite was discovered on a property in Winton and recently relocated to this stunning architecturally designed building. The guide identified the many different trackmakers that walked across it 95 million years ago. The sauropod trackways on the tracksite represent Australia's best example of sauropod tracks.

In the Collection Room, we watched a movie about dinosaurs and how the bones were discovered in the Winton area. The guide then showed us several different fossils, including the Diamantinasauraus, Australia’s most complete sauropod dinosaur.

A short 500 metres from the Visitor's Centre to The Age of Dinosaurs Fossil Preparation Laboratory. This is the most productive in the Southern Hemisphere, and here we met our guide, who discussed how fossils are discovered and excavated.
