Love love love this place. If you are a fossil head this is the place to go. Head to the museum first to read up on the area then head down to the beach to see more fossils then you can ever imagine. If you want the tour (and you will) book far in advance to secure your time. Work with the tide guides to go at low tide.

Extremely informative, patient, and passionate guides. We easily spent 4 hrs here (30 min tour + hrs of combing the grounds for fossils with our newfound knowledge)!

Main visitor center wasn't open. They seem to have limited hours. The beach is open and they have the tide chart listed so you can walk the beach with confidence that the tide won't get you! Nice walk, but I didn't see any fossils. Also, the walk on the beach is free.

I don't think that the museum has changed any since the last time we were here, nearly 10 years ago. Considering how many fossils lie on the beach below it, you would think the museum would be filled to the rafters with displays. Sadly, this is not the case. Plan on spending 30 minutes to see all the exhibits. Not worth a visit on a rainy day, when you can't get down to the beach.

Such an amazing experience! We decided to stop in on a whim on the way back from PEI and pretty much had the place to ourselves once we waited out high tide. My time listed below for waiting is strictly because we arrived an hour before the tide went out. The wait time to buy a ticket was under 5 minutes so we went around the museum while we waited.The walk down to the beach might be difficult for some, so just keep that in mind if you're looking to visit. Make sure you bring an extra pair of socks and shoes too, it can get a little wet!

Certainly, a must see if you are in the area. This is a unique place, but requires a climb up and down 3 flights of stairs that are not too strenuous. May not be appropriate for very small children, especially toddlers.There are fossils everywhere! Look for the lines from trees and tree branches. You have to be cognizant of the tides, as you can get caught in an incoming tide, especially if you wander too far down the shoreline close to the change in tides.Definitely recommend.

Took the 30-minute tour. If I had more time, I would have taken a longer tour. The museum is not large, but included with the tour. Our guide, Dana Brown, was great. Grew up in the area, played by the cliffs as a kid. Left for a while and returned. He knows the fossils and the history of the site and is passionate about it. We were the last tour of the day, I can only imagine how energetic he is for the early tours.The beach and the fossil record are impressive, and if you are interested in this subject at all, it is worth the trip.

Fascinating history, worth a visit if you're in the area. We did the 30 minute tour which was plenty for 3 kids (youngest 6), and we spent an additional hour or so on the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Be prepared for very different weather.

An excellent opportunity to see fossils in their natural state. The fossils here are mostly plant based. Go on the guided tour if possible and don't be scared off by the steps to get down, there's appx 69 and are nice and even with a railing.
