Excavation Station


What's the scoop? This is a question you can answer in our Excavation Station. Discover what there is to find in a scoop of dirt by exploring the science of things found underground.

What's the scoop?  Grab a shovel and start digging in a large-scale sand pit to find the answers.  Our Excavation Station allows kids and adults plenty of reasons to play in the sand.  Uncover buried dinosaur bones or have fun dressing-up as a paleontologist.  When you're done in the sand, visit our rock gallery or crawl through a soil wall to see and learn about the amazing creatures living within the earth's surface.  Visit with real-life animals or have fun standing under our life-size T-Rex.  There's plenty to see and touch in this exhibit.
