Get your Hands on Some Real Fossils

Join us for National Fossil Day on October 11.

Every day is Fossil Day at The Nat, but on October 11, everyone else gets almost as excited about dead things as we do!

Join us on National Fossil Day this Wednesday from 10 AM–1 PM to hang out with our Paleo team in front of our demo lab. They will have activities for all ages, including fossil-related crafts, fossil prep, and you might even get to glue some googley eyes on some old bones.

Don't forget, in October, Kids Go Free with paid adults!
