We took our two grandchildren for a guided tour. We were blown away by the quantity and quality of the exhibits. This is a small museum, but I learned more here about the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and..... more »

FAMILY FRIENDLY! Our wonderful guide Doug gave us an engaging and captivating tour. I think the adults in our group were even more excited than the kids! It's really an great opportunity for the kids to be able to touch fossils and Doug even let us do some proper digging with equipment! As he said, it was a "once in a lifetime" opportunity. The museum is small but so very packed with amazing things to explore. Can't wait to check out the dinosaur ridge!
