Royal Tyrrell Museum Experience
A special behind the scenes tour of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology for up to 8 people.
Enjoy a rare glimpse of our collections and preparation lab with one of our scientists, as well as a bag of Museum Shop goodies that would make any dinosaur-lover happy.
The tour can accommodate a maximum number of eight individuals (minimum of three adults and not recommended for children six and under).
The behind-the-scenes tour takes participants to parts of the Museum people would not be able to see during a regular visit. This includes “unprepared” and “prepared” collections storage areas (where about 90% of the Museum’s collections are held), and the preparation lab, where skilled technicians prepare fossils for study and display. The bid winners will get a chance to see some amazing specimens that aren’t currently on exhibit, including a sneak peek at a top secret dinosaur specimen our preparators and researchers have been working on that has not yet been shared publicly or displayed.
The tour usually takes about 45-60 minutes.
It also include complimentary admission to the Museum, so that after the tour, the bid winners can explore the galleries at their leisure.
In our bonkers-COVID-world the Museum is requesting a minimum of three weeks’ notice for any behind the scenes tours. Note that the Museum is participating in the Restrictions Exemption Program which requires proof of full vaccination, negative test results or medical exemption for all visitors 12 and over, plus mandatory masking for everyone ages 2 and older. Alternatively, we can offer a virtual behind-the-scenes tour with one of our scientists if the winner so chooses.
