Backpack Through the Mesozoic!
You become the tour guide. This self-directed tour is for small groups to enjoy a wonderful educational experience at the Museum on their own.
Everything you need to be the tour guide is included in the backpack--a script, questions and answers, and a backpack full of activities and props to engage the group. Cost: $5
Junior Paleontologist Club
What a great gift idea for that budding young (Grades 3-5) paleontologist in the family!
The club will meet Saturday, September 19 , 2009; Saturday, October 17 , 2009; and Saturday, November 21 , 2009, 2pm--3pm in the Kids Discovery Lab.
At each meeting, you'll learn something new and exciting about the Age of Dinosaurs, study real, 65 million year old fossils, have fun discussions, and participate in a new dinosaur activity each month.
Members receive an official membership card (and learn the secret handshake).
Purchase the Dinosaur Reference Book for the club at the gift shop for $16.99 plus tax. Class cost is $35 ($30 FOM).
For more information, call 262-653-4450.
Dino Digs
The Museum offers the opportunity for hands-on learning and fun at the Dino Digs.
The Dino Digs are designed for children ages three and up. Donning safety goggles and using paleontologists' tools, children can become amateur paleontologists and dig for dinosaurs at our simulated excavation sites.
The Digs are available for your budding paleontologists on most Saturdays, but please call the Museum in advance for the schedule at 262-653-4450. There is no charge to participate.
Kids Discovery Lab - Other Activities
The Kids Discovery Lab is stocked with coloring sheets and dinosaur rubbings for children and educational dinosaur books for all ages. Parents are invited to join their children in learning the fascinating history of dinosaurs.
