We’re getting excited for one of our favorite family events of the year- Dino Day 2026! From hands-on activities and fossil discoveries to dinosaur-themed games and crafts, last year’s Dino Day was filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of roaring good fun. We can't wait for you all to see what's in store this year! 🦕

Whether your little paleontologist joined us before or will be attending for the first time, this year promises another day of adventure, learning, and dinosaur-sized excitement!

Mark your calendars for July 11th and get ready to travel back in time with us!
