Est-ce pour vous ?
Pour qui c'est
Families with school-age children, dinosaur fans and groups of friends who like a bit of competition will enjoy racing through Dinosaur Hall, its mezzanine and three floors of dioramas, solving clues to find a hidden bronze tortoise. It takes about 40 minutes and stays indoors, so it suits a short museum visit or a rainy day. If you want a guide explaining the fossils or a longer walk around the city, choose a different quest.
