Things You Should Know About the Center
We are a unique facility providing specialized nature and science programs for thousands of school children and organized groups. More than 15 different field trips are available for classes or groups of 25 or more. An all-time favorite is our Dinosaur Mesa where visitors are greeted by an array of life size dinosaurs.
Our goal is to teach awareness and respect for our earth
and its inhabitants through our hands-on educational programs. The Earth Science
Museum houses the largest collection of Chinese Dinosaur Eggs for public
display in North America, has many fossil and mineral exhibits, Indian
artifacts, and more.
You can also add a visit to our Museum to your field trip if it is not already included.
