It’s an educational and unique experience that brings the ancient past to life in an engaging way. You can hear the voices of the the anymals from paleontologic period, which fossils was found there. Small, but nice. Lots of information about life 5-2,5 billion years ago Very well designed and very informative. Worth seeing. Also don't miss the Tsepina fortress, just 6km away. Little but beautiful museum. Thursdays entrance is free and you have free parking in the entrance. The guide gave a talk about the mastodon and the area in bulgarian and doesn't speak English, but you have info in English in the numerous information panels. The is just one circular room with a real size mastodon reproduction (impressive), some real mastodon rests, like a tusk. Also has information about the valley itself and other animals that were living there. Is not worth a long trip there as is very small but totally worth the if you're around. The building design is stunning and fits really well the environment, is a nice contrast for such a rural area. Interesting one and must see in this region. The nature is gorgeous out there. Small but well done Museum. The valley it sits in his amazing and worth the trip, even though the itself doesn't take much of a time commitment. I really like it there even that my 7 years old boy wasn't excited by the mastodont. He said it is not big enough :) The personel are nice and you can the musium for the fortress "Tsepina" with the same ticket. The fortress itself is free to visit. A bit pricey. 10lv to see one big elephant statue Small but unique museum. Visited on a weekend, 10 Lev fee per person. Gift shop was lacking in quality. Worth the if passing by. Nice attraction for half day when in Velingrad. Good realistic model of Mammoth. It's worth to Chepino forest ruins if have more time I the region. Nice, but too little to see there. And it was quite cold when we were inside (beginning of December) Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
