DinoFEST 2025

This year’s DinoFEST is designed to inspire your budding dino hunter. Navigate four floors of activities suited for different age groups exploring fossils, dinosaurs, and minerals, and learn the skills and tools need to become a paleontologist!

Keep your dino-hunting eyes peeled for hourly appearances of our wandering life-sized Theropod, Spike! Plus, head to our temporary exhibit gallery to experience our oversized foam dino dig pit, get your hands dirty in our oobleck pits, and pan for fossils and gems at our optional sluice sifting station.

Presold fossil sifting bags are sold out. A select number of bags will be available for purchase at the event for $15.

All ages

Cost: $24 for adults | $22 for children, FREE for members

Update 3/22/25 – Please note that the walk-up fossil sifting bags and Stuff-a-Dino activity have SOLD OUT.
