    Superb experience; how cool is this to actually experience where and how these museum treasures are discovered and brought to the public viewing. I learned so much and had the most fun with our knowledgeable guides and respectful kind group of guests. Highly recommend for those that appreciate science and exploration.

    This is the coolest museum I've been to just for the fact the palentologists are the ones giving tours and can answer any of your questions. We went in the off season and got to see things no one else does

    Andy and Dustin were the most knowledgeable and friendly paleontologists I've ever met. They took such care in helping kids to understand and be interested in paleontology. Will definitely be bringing my kids back so long as they are working there!
