Knowledgeable guides make a difference here.
Two of us joined three other people to listen to their English-speaking guide. We learned a lot about the exhibit and the research that is going on in the Center. Even though they have labels in English, still you get a lot more information from the guide. Don't miss this opportunity, especially since you probably won't have a guide at the nearby El Fósil .
This place (the Center) is much more informative about different kinds of fossils that can be found in the area, so go see the giant dino at El Fósil first, and then come to this Center to see other kinds of fossils and get valuable information. Both sites together will take less than two hours, maybe even an hour if you are in a hurry and don't spend much time at El Fósil and leave the Center right after the guided tour (assuming that you are lucky and don't have to wait (we did not)).

Is a good place to visit even if you are not an archeologist or paleontologist. You learn some interesting things like how half of Colombia, all the andean mountains, were under water million of years ago, and Villa de Leyva was a beach.
Very great and informative
Cool place to enjoy about the Colombian paleontology.
Nice museum to visit
Me gustó mucho la labor que realizan en este lugar, conocer un poco del porque esta zona es rica en este tipo de fósiles y verlos vale bastante la pena

Very interesting place, some awesome fossils and nice guides but very small place. The visit lasted about 20 minutes.
