This gem is the site of numerous dinosaur tracks and fossils from the Cretaceous and Jurassic periods. Explore the outdoor museum where fossils remain in situ, visit the indoor exhibition hall, and treat children to free fossil replica digging in two play areas at the Main Visitor Center. The guided bus tour is highly recommended; or walk and read interpretive signs, download an audio tour, or schedule an in-depth guided walking tour with a geologist. A well-stocked Gift Shop offers fun souvenirs for all ages. Plan for outdoor weather with comfortable walking shoes and drinking water.
