We had a lot of fun in the GIANT hollowed out tree log canoe, & while we were busy goofing off, one of the men responsible for making & transporting the canoe came by & gave us much more info about it. It was really cool! I'm not much of a museum-goer, so the simplicity of this one was just perfect for my short attention span. Plus, at $3 pp or $5 for two, it was a good deal, too!

Our grandson is obsessed with digging for fossils so we just had to come! The museum is super cool…read morewith all kinds of displays of fossils found in the area. We went early in the day to beat the crowds. We paid in the store to dig and the staffer gave us a brief orientation on what rocks that were likely to have imprints or fossils, what the difference was and how to chip the rocks. He also lent us chisels and tools. The dig area is up the road and has several shaded tables and benches to chip the rocks open. The hill is a bit tricky to get up and down because of the gravelly terrain so be aware. There is a trail off to the side for those who don't want to tackle the hill. And bring lots of water and hats because it gets HOT! After you're done, you bring back your find to the museum and the staff will identify it for you. He told us we could take 3 home per person so we got some pretty cool souvenirs!
