For birthdays!
The Promenade Museum welcomes your child and their friends to celebrate their birthday in a fun and educational way. With the Guide, the children alternate between digging "like a real palaeontologist" and birthday-party breaks with sweets, drinks and cakes. The opening of the gifts closes the session alongside the fossils that have taken the children on a journey through time on Earth. An excellent afternoon for the children, with no worries about space or noise for the parents who just have to bring the food!

Excavation-Digs to go back in time
Excavation-Digs to go back in time
If ammonites could talk, they would tell us... about the sea in Digne! Like real palaeontologists, the children carry out palaeontological-digs in the Carboniferous Equatorial Forest or at the bottom of the Jurassic Sea, in search of ferns, sea urchins, ichthyosaurs or dinosaurs that tell the amazing story of millions of years of the Earth's history.
Local Friendly Snakes
Local Friendly Snakes
They are discreet and yet they are frightening... To dispel preconceived ideas, there is nothing better than to understand their way of life through games and lively discussions. There is no danger, because it is the image of the snake that we're taming, between snakes and vipers, discovering the 10 species present in our region. From every child's imagination, a unique snake will be born, which will perhaps stimulate their curiosity about wildlife and the natural environment.

Treasure Hunt : In pursuit of the ...
Two hours of Treasure Hunt in the park with a Guide in search of the ammonites of the Promenade Museum and their treasure. A map, a magnifying glass, a compass, and off you go to find fun and adventure between the marked points, to go from one test to another. Fossils, fauna and flora are called to the rescue, sometimes observed in real-life; more than knowledge, logic and ingenuity are used to solve riddles and enigmas... until the long awaited arrival! An enjoyable afternoon for everyone, no one will return empty-handed!
