Hi Janelle, Dinosaur Walk is one of the permanant exhibitions in Melbourne Museum, and is included in the General Admission to the Museum. Admission and car park information at the Melbourne Museum can be found at http://museumvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseum/visiting/; in addition to this there is also limited metered parlking on both Nicholson and Rathdowne Streets.

Hello Yi
Most of the skeletons on display in Dinosaur Walk are composed of casts from molds of individual real dinosaur bones. These bone casts are composed of a lightweight synthetic material, but are the exact shape of the real fossils which they were cast from. These casts are reassembled by our preparation staff into the skeletons you see, in consultation with the latest research on dinosaur posture.
In addition to these skeletons, there are some examples of real dinosaur fossils in Dinosaur walk; the Hadrosaur tail under the glass on the ramp is entirely real and has not been reassembled in any way - it appears as it did when it was found (including skin impressions), and also an Apatosaurus (formerly Brontosaurus) leg bone, which is a touch object - we encourage visitors to feel this fossil to experience what real dionosaur fossils feel like.
Please note that Museum Victoria staff will not normally respond to comments posted on our website.
