Trek through time exhibit hall Dinosaur Ridge, Morrison, Colorado

June 20, 2014 by tillywee Leave a Comment

The exhibit hall had fossils and a couple of activities for the kids! They enjoyed trying to make fossilized foot prints in different types of materials, experimenting with what type of surface was best for preservation. There is also a few life size dinosaur bones that are really fun to see! The boys loved to sit on the bone benches to observe the Triceratops!

Don’t miss the FREE find a fossil in the sandbox at the exhibit hall!

Gemstone and Fossil Panning at Dinosaur Ridge, Morrison, Colorado

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado.  All opinions are my own.

This panning activity was a favorite for my kids! they love to see the dirt and pebbles wash away and leave their favorite shiny gems! This activity varies in cost so make sure you check the prices before you commit to purchase.  Price is comparable to the gem tables inside a lot of tourist stores where you fill your bag with rocks, but this is a LOT more fun!  Your kids actually begin to learn a bit about mining and panning while doing this entertaining activity!  I recommend using the identification brochure provided by Dinosaur Ridge and take the time to try to identify the gems or fossils you collect during this activity.  Pretty amazing when your preschooler can identify and ammonite correctly!

Our family had a great day at Dinosaur Ridge in Morrison Colorado! They offer summer camps for kids! Admission prices are very reasonable. All enjoyed the visit! So many interesting theories to be discussed! Dinosaurs are fascinating! Ripples and fossils, bones and tracks! Great educational fun!

We spent about three hours enjoying Dinosaur Ridge! Watch the next few days as I tell you more, and go check it out for yourself! They have enough to do for an enjoyable time together as a family.

Go tohttp://www.dinoridge.org/ to find out more information directly from their website!

This is such an interesting article in the link below regarding Paleontology . If your interested, copy and paste this into your browser to read it. I plan to use this information to teach more to my children! Our oldest son wants to be a paleontologist!
