The Isle of Wight,off the south coast of England,is the best place in Europe for discovering dinosaur bones. Dinosaur Farm Museum was established in 1993. Since then,the museum has introduced the study of old bones to many more people.

What we offer

Visitors can enjoy our displays,or watch us cleaning dinosaur bones and other fossils found on the island's beaches. The museum has a variety of different fossils,many of them never displayed to the public before. As more are discovered all the time,you can be sure of seeing something new each time you visit.

We have a free Fossil Identification Service,so you can bring in any fossils you have and find out what they are. In addition,we have a reasonably-priced Museum Shop,where you can buy a souvenir of your visit. You could also bring a picnic and relax in our special picnic area.

Activities

Fossil hunts are organized from the museum and run all year round. Groups of up to 25are guided on a local beach where they can search for fossils. All these hunts are fully licensed and insured,and guides can help to identify any fossils found andpoint out things of interest.

Due to the popularity of these hunts,all trips must be booked by a personal visit to Dinosaur Farm Museum.

The BBC programme"Live from Dinosaur Island"was filmed along the coast here,and Dinosaur Farm Museum was the base for the television crew.
