The Centre provides information on fossils, fossil hunting and the local coastal and marine wildlife. Facilities at the centre include hands on displays, marine tanks and a video microscope, all of which can help you to discover more about the stretch of the coastline. The Centre also has disabled access.

The Jurassic Theatre shows a short film on ‘The Jurassic Coast and Finding fossils at Charmouth’ (adults £1, children 50p). There is a shop stocked with books for all levels,toys and souvenirs.

Throughout the year there are guided fossil hunting walks and rockpooling walks along the local coastline. The Centre also has an extensive education programme.
