The Fossil Dig is a 15-minute guided activity that’s included in every child’s admission. Kids dig for fossils in a specially stocked pit area that includes everything from shark teeth and gastropods to stingray barbs and Mosasaur teeth. They can select three of their favorites to take home.

Chose a bag or bucket, then run it through our mining sluice to see what treasures you have discovered, including real minerals, arrowheads, or gems. You get to keep everything you find! (Cost included with every excavation pass.)

Grab some tools and start excavating! You should know the proper way to uncover the 27-foot skeleton from under the sand.
