Uncover the mysteries of our prehistoric planet!

Discover what it takes to be a paleontologist in this 2.5-hour workshop intended for ages 7-10. Learn how fossils form and what they can tell you about ancient life by making scientific models of molds and casts. Conduct a mock excavation and test out real field techniques used to protect fossils for their journey back to the lab. The workshop will then head over to our Dinosaur Mysteries exhibit where you will use clues to find a few of our favorite dinosaur specimens.
