Indoor Fossil Hunting

Our Activity Center allows kids to get their hands dirty and ‘hunt’ for fossils in wooden trays.  These trays contain dirt, with fossils hidden in them, and kids get to dig through the dirt looking for interesting fossils.  Most of the fossils in the trays are real fossils found in Riverbluff Cave, behind the Museum, probably the oldest Ice Age cave in North America.  Call us at 417-883-0594 and ask us to keep some fossil trays out for your amateur paleontologists to have fun with!
