DINO DIG

You'll Dig This Exhibit

You don't have to be an archeologist or fan of Jurassic Park to dig this exhibit on the first floor of the museum. 

Visitors will climb through a dig site in order to uncover fossils and dinosaur remains buried deep within the site. Once you've started the work, look for remains that might give you clues to what animals were living here before our time.
