What families say

Kids get an up-close look at real, ongoing fossil digs (rhinos, horses, petrified trees) with staff and even university students on hand to explain things and answer questions, which several families found genuinely engaging rather than a "look but don't touch" museum visit. It's a small site but worth the drive, with walking trails and nature exhibits if fossils aren't the main draw, and admission runs around $10/person (one reviewer noted it's per vehicle, so check current pricing). Reviewers who've returned multiple times say it's fun to see the dig's progress over time, making it a good repeat trip as kids get older.
