What families say

This small but well-curated museum packs in real dinosaur fossils, an impressive rock and mineral collection, and a working lab where kids can watch paleontologists actually excavating and cleaning fossils in real time—a highlight families say makes it feel hands-on rather than just look-and-walk. Admission is a reasonable $6 per person, and since the exhibit space is compact, plan for a shorter visit rather than a full-day outing. There's also a small local history section and an outdoor area with historic buildings, though note those buildings aren't always open.

Ages 6–18
