Join us for a special Discovery Saturday, Unearthed! Fossils of the Silver State!
This event is a reimagining of last year’s Dino Day—now with even more to discover through hands-on exploration. We’ve expanded the prehistoric party to feature not just dinosaurs, but all kinds of ancient creatures, fossils, and natural wonders from Nevada’s deep past. Whether your little learner is obsessed with dinosaurs, fascinated by mammoths, or curious about the sea creatures that swam here millions of years ago, there’s plenty to discover!
Our special events room will be transformed into a prehistoric exploration zone, where families can enjoy:
- Real fossils from the museum’s education collection
- Fossil digging activities
- Crafts, puzzles, & interactive learning stations
- Ichthyosaur storytime
- Raffle prizes
