★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kris was an amazing tour guide. Knowledgeable, excellent with kids, and very willing to answer any and all kinds of questions. Strongly recommend this tour for kids and adults alike, it was fascinating and knowing that some of the fossils on display change over the course of the year means we'll definitely be making a return visit. We had a great time!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just wrapped up my first tour with Dino Lab. What an unbelievable experience, exceeded my expectations in every way. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, fun to engage with, and the exhibits themselves were incredibly impressive. I have been to other dinosaur museums before and nothing compares to the hands on nature of the experience at Dino Lab. I cannot recommend this enough. And if you are visiting Victoria, or simply looking for something new to do, this is a must see attraction!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I cannot say enough in praise about this amazing experience and the dedicated team that run it. I wish I could go there every day. In the top 3 best days in this dinosaur - lovers life. Take your friends, grandparents, kids and just experience. I have never met a more devoted, sweet, thoughtful, compassionate, fossil obsessed team of people. My husband and I went there for our 3rd wedding anniversary a month ago (we're in Vancouver) and went back the day after. They also sell gorgeous fossils, along with letting you excavate your own. I've told everyone who will listen about Dino Lab, we can't wait to go back and touch more fossils. Shaun B and Heather C send their love ( and cookies soon!) One billion stars.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You can touch almost everything! Super interesting tour (a bit long for the 4 year old, the 7 year old was enthralled) getting to drill the fossils at the end was a definite highlight. As was holding the poop (for the boys and their Dad lol)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We facilitated our child's 11th birthday party through Dino Labs Inc., and wow were we ever impressed!
If you have a dino-nut in your life, the dollar value for what you get is totally there! We had a guided tour of the current fossils on site (which there are quite a few (90 mins didn't cover them all)), a tour of a fossil processing lab and then proceeded to a private party room.
The tour was hosted by a knowledgeable, patient and very friendly member of the Dino Labs Team. Our kids bombarded them with questions on an ongoing basis during the tour; they stepped up to the challenge and even seemed to enjoy it. The host walked us through each fossil on display discussing the facts and history. Also, the kids were delighted that they got to actually touch real fossils.
The lab was really cool as well. The kids were setup at workstations where they could use actual fossil processing tools. Each workstation had an encased fossil which the kids were able to remove excess materials from.
The party room was pre-decorated in a dinosaur theme. The space would seat around 10 kids. There were also washroom facilities inside the party room as well, which was convenient. We also arranged party favours through Dino Labs, which was worth it as the kids were very excited about it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As an adult who has always loved dinosaurs, it was so awesome to be able to learn so much about the preservation and preparation of fossilized bones for display! Our guide Owen has a giant brain full of amazing dinosaur knowledge, and his passion for his job shines through on his tour! I would absolutely recommend this for any dino-fan in your family.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing experience!!! I am a secondary school biology teacher and have several students very keen on evolution and prehistoric life. I thought they needed exposure to a learning environment in addition to what I could give them, so I decided to take them to Dino Lab and it was so worth it!
They were all blown away by the experience, even a few of them who have extensive knowledge on prehistoric animals as well as experience visiting other paleontology museums.
A couple quotes:
"This is better than the Tyrell Museum!"
As they sat to the table to work on the fossils, "I think this is the best thing I have ever done."
Our tour guide Owen was so great and clearly so engaged in the conversation with my students. He asked great guiding questions which the students were excited to hypothesize on. His interactions showed that he is, not only an awesome tour guide, but also a skilled teacher.
Thank you so much Owen and everyone else at Dino Lab for such a great day!
