4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2012

Slightly cheesy exhibits but we really enjoyed ourselves. . The gift shop had many inexpensive options as well as some very expensive options (like $8,000 geodes). I thought the staff in the shop was very nice, I noticed below someone else gave them one star, which seems unfair. If you are in Fort William I would say you should definitely... More

We were passing through Fort William on our recent trip to Scotland, and saw this place advertised in a magazine in our hotel. It was £10 for two adults to visit Treasures Of The Earth. It is not as big as i thought it was going to be, however, the displays were interesting and well laid out. I found it... More
