There’s a film you can watch for insightful info, many hands-on exhibits to learn about fossils and other science, a bookstore that also has souvenirs, and a fossil learning lab during the summer. There are also several hiking trails varying in length, but unfortunately no dogs are allowed in the fossil beds!
