A Blast from the Past
Add a hint of education to your family vacation with a visit to the Phu Wiang Dinosaur Museum. This geological museum is primarily aimed at the display of fossils of living beings from the Mesozoic Era. Since the year 2009, the museum was declared open to the public where fossil replication and conservation, subject related research and investigation take place. The museum also hosts a canteen, library and an auditorium.
Connecting with Nature
Children from a young age should be taught the importance of connecting with their surroundings. Therefore, a trip to Khon Kaen will not be complete without a visit to the Khon Kaen Zoo, which aims to be a conservation research centre of rare breeds, for wildlife and ecotourism. The 3,338-acre landscape will be an educational journey for little ones as the zoo offers a natural classroom aimed at awareness building for wildlife and plant protection for the youth.
