• Exhibit texts in German, with English and French on the Izi.Travel app; the ticket desk hands out the access codes
• Weekday afternoons are calmer, the museum says, as are sunny days, so pick those for a quieter look at the skeletons
• Grills in the garden, two of them plus covered tables; picnics can move indoors if you buy drinks at the cafeteria

Sauriermuseum Aathal shows real dinosaur skeletons, six of them from the museum's own digs, alongside trilobites, a crocodile, flying and marine reptiles, 290 pieces of amber and 108 meteorites. Replicas and models fill in the rest of the age of dinosaurs.

Outside, the DinoGiardino garden has dinosaur models, a dig pit, a slide, a small carousel for toddlers, two grill spots and covered picnic tables.
