Join us to "Unearth a Story" by digging up some fossils. Could you find a trilobite or something else? Come find out!!
Dig up "fossils" buried in our excavations sites and learn some fun facts too! Space is limited, first come, first served.
We will have two sessions:
Session 1 will be at 11:00 am (Tickets will be available at 10:45 am)
A bashful dinosaur enlists her friends and the audience to help her overcome her shyness and find her voice. The audience learns the importance of courage, confidence, and overcoming personal obstacles from within—with a little help from friends.
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!
