Discover the Coal Age ecosystem and rare fossils of plants and animals preserved where they lived 300 million years ago.

• Explore interpretive displays in the Joggins Fossil Centre before heading out to the beach and cliffs with your interpreter.
• We offer guided tours of the property, workshops and other educational programs.

We offer pre- and post-visit information related to the property’s protective designation, the geology, ecology, and paleontology of the property, and safety considerations.
