Fossil Quest

Dig into a day of prehistoric discovery! At Fossil Quest, the entire science center becomes a field site where young paleontologists can excavate real fossils, make fossil casts and field jackets to protect fossils, investigate specimens under a microscope, and more.

Bring a fossil from home to our Fossil ID Table to have it identified by real paleontologists and geologists, hear stories from scientists who've dug in Tennessee and Montana, and meet Magic Mr. Nick's Dino Puppets. Come ready to dig, discover, and get your hands dirty! 

Fossil Quest is included with General Admission and free for members.
