Unearth a Story: Junior Paleontologist Training Night

Junior Paleontologist Training Night 3 is coming up — and our dinos say you can still join the dig!
If you missed the first two nights, no worries at all. We’ll have one Night 2 training station set up so new recruits can get “caught up in the fossil record” before heading into tonight’s adventures.
Come unearth, explore, and roar along with us — your paleontology journey can start anytime.
