GO! If you like petrified wood, minerals, and fossils, you will not be disappointed! No, it's not a large space, but rather than lots of little specimens, there are fewer *very large* specimens. The 30,000 lb Sequoia log outside near the parking alone is worth the visit. Have fun!

I just had one of the most amazing moments of my life there.... I walked through the doors and I immediately had tears in my eyes. To see the perfect way nature has for preserving itself. Then after looking around for a while I saw it(sorry no spoilers) the most amazing mineral calling out to me in the most fluid like way. The voice was so soft and sweet like a small flowing stream, but the power behind that voice was enough to get my attention. PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT
