Wish You Were Here – Footprints Through Time
When you discover a mysterious suitcase filled with expedition tools, you’ll use your imagination and senses to search for dinosaur fossils! Journey through the jungle, dig for bones at an excavation site, rescue dinosaurs from tar pits, and collect dino eggs—just be careful of the earth-shaking volcano!
Additional Notes:
Do you love birds? Do you find owls fascinating? Have you ever wondered what they eat? Come find out and do an owl pellet dissection guided by a ranger from Sheldon Lake State Park!
