About this Event
The Museums of Western Colorado presents our 2024 Dinosaur Digs Program!
The Mygatt-Moore expeditions offer an introduction to paleontology field work. Get a little dirty digging for Jurassic dinosaurs. Our paleontologists will make sure you have all the training and tools you need. Fossil bones of Apatosaurus and Allosaurus are common in the quarry. This trip ends with a guided tour of the Paleo Lab at Dinosaur Journey. Water and Gatorade will be provided on site along with a picnic lunch.
The minimum age for our full-day Dinosaur Dig program is 7 years old. All guests 16 and under must be accompanied by a paying adult. All participants must also complete and return a before participating in any of our Dinosaur Digs Programs.
Difficulty: Easy. No hiking is required on this expedition, but participants should expect to be outside, in the heat and bugs, working on open, rocky ground. We will provide some shade tarps.
What to Bring: Expeditioners should dress for working outdoors in summer: bring a wide-brimmed hat, sturdy closed-toed shoes or hiking boots, sunscreen, a camera, and bug spray. Long pants are recommended, but not required.
Please note that lunches are included with our Full-Day Dinosaur Digs Program. After registering, you will receive an email with a link to fill out your preferred lunch order, note any food allergies, etc.
