Things to do in Canberra for self travelers

Whether you're five years old with a Stegosaurus toy you can't put down, or a fully-grown adult, there's no denying how fascinating dinosaurs are! At the National Dinosaur Museum, guests can meet detailed recreations of Jurassic giants and see their real remains inside exhibits that place skeletons against prehistoric backdrops. After you've spent some time reading up on Cretaceous critters, head to the Dinosaur Garden and meet Stan, the National Dinosaur Museum's larger-than-life dinosaur who stands at six metres tall and stretches 20 metres from head to tail.
