Discovery Park members are invited to travel back in time during Member Monday – Paleontology Day, an exciting afternoon of hands-on fossil exploration and dinosaur discovery. This interactive program gives students and families the opportunity to learn about prehistoric life while creating their own take-home fossil keepsakes.
Participants will create their own dinosaur bones before joining a lesson focused on how paleontologists study and identify bones and fossils. After the lesson, guests will head to the dig pit to excavate fossils and uncover hidden discoveries. Each participant will also take home a piece of Coon Creek as a special reminder of the experience.
You will discover:
- How paleontologists identify dinosaur bones and fossils
- Hands-on fossil excavation techniques in the dig pit
- How to create and preserve your own dinosaur bone craft
- Opportunities to win a $10 Discovery Park coupon during each lesson
Lessons and activities will begin in the Reelfoot Room at the following times:

During each lesson, one $10 Discovery Park coupon will be hidden in the dig pit for participants to find. Coupons must be redeemed at the Front Ticket Counter.
