Enjoy fossilized fun at five drop-in stations designed for young learners ages 3–8. Hold fossils and casts at the touch table, make scientific discoveries in the dig pit, create a craft to take home, and collect a new stamp each month in your Fossil Finders Passport.
Happy Halloween! Bring your costume from home or make costume crafts at the Burke. Transform into a T. rex, become a beautiful ancient flower, make-believe you’re a mysterious sea creature — there are millions of years and millions of organisms to inspire you! Take a picture in the photo booth, then visit the touch table station to learn about horns, teeth, spikes, frills and more.
