Join us every Thursday this summer from May 26 until August 11 to learn about different ancient animals! Each day has a different animal we will explore with fossils, facts, and an activity.
In addition, attend as many talks as you can to earn prizes. For attending 3 talks you can choose a real fossil. For attending 6 talks, pick out a dinosaur toy. And for 10 talks, you get a special tour of our fossil preparation lab (please schedule your tour in advance once you’ve attended 10 talks by emailing Jaleesa Buchwitz at [email protected]) You’ll have until the end of 2022 to schedule a tour.
