FOSSIL DIG
Young paleontologists will love the Fossil Dig. Children can grab a brush and begin wiping away the sand to uncover fossils of all shapes and sizes.
The walk-in dig holds larger dinosaurs waiting to be discovered. Children can unearth shark teeth, snail shells and other fossils and keep their one favorite as a souvenir.
Download and print your Fossil Hunting License and bring it with you to identify your finds.

VULCAN MATERIALS COMPANY GEM PANNING
Grab a pan and start sifting! Gems and stones lay buried in the sand waiting to be discovered.
The Vulcan Materials Company Gem Panning features a working water wheel and plenty of gems for children to find and take home. Newly-installed UV filters keep the water sanitized and safe.
