About
Hitre informacije: Bright, hands-on galleries fold together paleontology, cultural artifacts, and vintage natural history displays so a casual stroll can feel like a compact field trip. More than 1,500 artifacts and specimens are cataloged, and many exhibits let visitors get within inches of real fossil casts and archaeological pieces under staff supervision.
Vrhunci: A life-size mastodon skeleton anchors a dimly lit hall while actual dried chaparral and a subtle scent diffuser bring the landscape to your nose, making the scene unexpectedly immersive. Each summer limited 'After Hours' fossil-handling sessions welcome just 20 people, where staff bring out real bone fragments and lead flashlight tours that share the dig-team stories behind the finds.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for uneven outdoor paths and the short hill to the heritage garden.
- Visit on weekday mornings to avoid crowds and increase chances of seeing curator demonstrations.
- Pack sun protection and water for the outdoor Native American and natural history exhibits.
- Avoid weekend afternoons during school holidays when the discovery room and outdoor areas are busiest.
