DIG is York's premier Archaeology based experience offering a unique and enjoyable visit for all the family. Whether you are a keen archaeologist or a young child who wants to dig up the artefacts, DIG has something for all, and you are sure to learn something new.

At DIG, you get to discover only the most exciting archaeological artefacts from the 2000 years of history hidden under the streets of York.

Four excavation pits are filled with Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian finds, so you can grab a trowel and dig up the clues that show how people lived in these times. Look out for our costumed staff during holiday periods - you may even meet a Roman warrior or a Viking lady...

Visitors examine real archaeological finds and work out what they were used for. Look out for the 2000-year-old skulls and the Viking-Age poo!
Our three discovery rooms offer the chance to try out archaeological techniques. The science lab, library and field tent are all 'manned' by our holographic guides, who will help you out with the different activities. At the end of your experience, the story of York and your discoveries are brought together in our 3D cinema - York Revealed.
