The fossil museum was amazing. Isaac was our tour guide and he is extremely knowledgeable and will tell you everything you want to know about all the fossils they have, which is very extensive.

Very nice place, do your research on your rocks before you go if your looking to sell your collection. Only gives vendors prices, took a BIG LOSS on our collection would have made WAY more money...

We had so much fun! The youngest kid got the emerald strike, and we got the mother load. We got some amazing stones. It was a neat experience for the kiddos. The fossil museum was the best in my opinion. The guy Chris who was in there had to tons of stories and really super cool information. We enjoyed his guidance on what to look at and history information.

THIS PLACE IS SO SICK! Incredible collection in the museum and the gem mining was really cool. Zach gave us and incredible tour and he was so friendly and knowledgeable. Riley and Jacob were also so awesome, knowledgeable, and helpful. We were incredibly lucky to have this place to ourselves. Must stop at this place especially if you are into paleontology. I had to leave before I spent all my money. THANK YOU
