You will see Idaho rocks and minerals, a touch-screen map of Idaho Mining Districts, a world-class meteorite exhibit, an authentic mining camp, a Buzz Saw shark exhibit, Blacklight display, the well-known Fujii Collection of polished minerals from Idaho and elsewhere. You'll also see wall graphics explaining Lake Idaho/Lake Bonneville, and an exact replica of Idaho's own dinosaur-the Oryctodromeus.
