The West Coast Fossil park
Been to old facility a few years ago and we are amazed how much work has been done to create this centre. It makes prehistory so real, and very interesting. Guide fluent in English and Afrikaans. Very clean, well run facility. Good restaurant.

Love this place! What a rare treat to get access to an actual dig site so rich in a diverse range of Fossils. The guides are very knowledgeable and willing to answer all questions. I have visited twice and I love it each time I go. There is also a restaurant and a museum.

A pleasant experience had by all. Our first visit after the major upgrade of the West Coast Fossil Park.Beautiful wild flowers in season.Friendly staff all round. Tuk-Tuk driver Jan Coetzee was a gem with his knowledge of the Park and district.

If you like fossils and just cool science things in general, this is the place to be! Did not have food, had something to drink, but was pleasant and the good smelled delicious!

The fossil park is a beautiful clean museum , its small and takes you maybe 30min to walk through and see all they have, the fossil dig sight is interesting and fun, but also small the tour guide was friendly and very informative. The restaurant had a lovely buffet , all staff were very friendly and it was a nice family outing, my kids enjoyed the information about the Extinct animals.

The fact that the restaurant is the featured photo says it all. There's a whole lot of not much to see, especially for the price. We were told that they're due for an upgrade, which will be paid for with Lotto grant money. However, at the rate that said grant money is being stolen (by wealthy business people and government officials), I wonder if and when and to what extent these proposed upgrades will happen.

West Coast Fossil Park exceeded expectations. Tours are conducted every hour;it's recommended to check availability during peak holiday season. Arrive a little early and stroll through the very informative museum and display areas.We had tea and sweets at the cafeteria, excellent date fingers.A golf cart is available to take elederly down to the fossil site. Our guide, Edward, was very knowledgeable and explained on a level that was accessible to most. He gave a very balanced view of the impact and also the advantage that mining has had here. Had it not been for the mine, the fossils would probably have gone undiscovered.At reception, no mention was made of the walking trails; I only saw that afterwards on the pamphlet. Pity, I would have loved to go for a walk.

A very interesting place of interest. The buildings are very new and modern and very well kept. The staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a charge for self guided tour of the museum or a guided tour of the fossil tent. The walk down to the tent is via a gravel road in the hot sun, so dress accordingly. Visitors with disabilities can get a lift to the fossil site on the golf cart. Once at the site, there is a walkway that is wheelchair accessible. A small gift shop and coffee shop is available for your enjoyment. There is plenty of free parking.
