My husband is working in the area so our daughter and I came to visit over the weekend for her birthday. Unfortunately the dig site itself was closed for the season, but the gentleman working there let her help him chisle open a slab of rock to see if they could find something. They didn't, but he still gave her a free leaf fossil to take home for her birthday. Wonderful kindness. We will definitely be back during dig season!!

Amazing experience. Got to take home so many fossils I found with my family. Highly recommend. Affordable, educational and enjoyable.

The museum was being refurbished, so I can only comment on dig site - it was fun! Bring your own tools, pretty much any chisel will work. Site is in full sun so be prepared. You can leave site (lunch) and return. The site is short walk (200 yds?) from museum, disabled parking at dig. Pretty much 100% you will find some sort of fossil, likely fern or leaf, even without tools.

It was a real treat to visit this fascinating place. The fossils are nicely presented; the layout tells a nice story of the geological history of the area. The staff was very courteous. This is a great place to bring the kids. A bonus: there's a nice park across the street where you can relax and have a picnic.
