DISCOVER & TAKE HOME A 66 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSIL!

About the Quarry Dig Experience

- Dig into history at the Edelman Fossil Park & Museum Quarry! This 45-foot-deep, former Inversand marl pit has revealed over 100,000 fossils since the 1920s. Remarkably, its green-tinged earth contains the planet's sole evidence of the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Today, you can excavate and keep real fossils at this active research site in our Quarry digging experience.

- This is a hands-on 75 minute outdoor adventure in our 45-foot deep quarry, where you'll dig for fossils with guidance from our Fossil guides. Be prepared to get dirty as you unearth your prehistoric treasures and learn to identify them!

- Get ready for an epic and messy outdoor adventure! Bring sunscreen and a water bottle, and definitely pack a change of shoes or clothes for a clean ride home (especially if you plan to re-enter the museum). Wear comfortable and sturdy footwear like rubber boots to fully enjoy digging deep into the prehistoric fun.

- This experience is $25 ($20 for members) as a museum add-on, or $40 for the dig experience only! All adventurers need a ticket, except those 2 and under who enter free with a paying adult, and guests 16 and under must be accompanied by a grown-up for this unforgettable, hands-on journey into the past.
