Kids Dig, Wyoming Dinosaur Center

Hey kids!

Ever wonder what it would be like to track down a dinosaur - maybe even discover a new species?

No need to travel back in time! Join us for a real-life adventure - digging on the Warm Springs Ranch dinosaur dig sites near Thermopolis, Wyoming.

Nothing fake about this – it's hands-on science at its best. Dig in the dirt and rock along with our paleo-technicians. So you'll get hot and dusty, so what? Who knows – maybe you'll "strike it rich" with a real fossil find! It's happened before!

And while you're at it, we'll teach you a thing or two about fossils and what this area was like when dinosaurs hung out here.

Think what a great story you'll have when they ask you what you did on your summer vacation!

Between 8 and 12 years old? You qualify for our Kids' Dig.

Between 13-15 years old? Move on up to the Teens' Dig.

Parents! Click here to sign up your child for an unforgettable educational experience.

So what IS the difference in dinosaur bone and ordinary rock?

You mean belemnites are related to Octopus?
What are fossil salt-water shells doing on a dry mountain top?
Maybe this dino claw would look cool with some wild purple nail polish.
