FamilyEasyYear-round

Itinerary tips
- 1Plan to spend at least 90 to 120 minutes to fully explore both the indoor track galleries and the outdoor prep lab.
- 2Bring a camera with a flash, as the low-angle lighting used to highlight the fossil details makes for excellent photography.
- 3Wear comfortable walking shoes, though the site is fully paved and wheelchair accessible throughout the galleries.
- 4Check the museum's daily schedule for volunteer-led tours to get in-depth context on the 'swim-trace' fossils not found elsewhere.
- 5Park for free in the designated lot directly in front of the main museum building located on Riverside Drive.
- 6Visit the gift shop last to find unique locally-sourced trilobite specimens and educational dinosaur replicas.
