The Dinosaur Museum Altmühltal is one of the most exciting excursion destinations for families, school classes and anyone interested in the evolution of our planet who wants to experience it at close hand. In the Dinosaur Museum Altmühltal visitors wander along an enchanting ca. 1.5 kmforest path through 400 million years of the earth's history. You will meetover 70 life-size reproductions of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, some of which are so large that they scrape the treetops.
Other highlights in the form of original fossils and genuine skeletons are exhibited in the museum hall. Along with "Dracula", the largestand heaviest pterosaur ever found, the geologically oldest prehistoric birdworld-wide, Archaeopteryx, can also be seen. This is followed by a permanent exhibition with more original dinosaur skeletons which are unique inthe world.
Knowledge can also be gained in the Dinosaur Museum by being active. Visitors can turn into paleontologists and, for example, excavate fossils from the Jurassic stones of the Altmühltal and take them home as souvenirs. Interactive display stations entice you to test your own skills of howlarge, how fast or how strong the dinosaurs were. Whether while runninga race or exposing a Diplodocus skeleton - your knowledge about the time between the Paleozoic and today will be enhanced by every area you visit in the Dinosaur Museum.
