Krono School Excursion Program We offer school groups the opportunity to undertake tours through Kronosaurus Korner and to the fossicking sites with a trained tour guide. Guided tours are by prior arrangement only. We can also get Krono to make an appearance on request to make the educational experience loads more fun. Make sure you mention his name when booking your tour of the Centre.
Kronosaurus Korner Tours Guided fossil centre tours are for all classes including preschoolers. Tours are tailored to suit the appropriate age group, therefore times will vary. Most tours take between 45 minutes to 1 hour. The tours are offered throughout the year and bookings are essential. Admission fees are $5.00 per student and all tour leaders are free of charge.
