Become a paleontologist as you walk the path of time through the Museum of Life and Science!

Start indoors by investigating the Precambrian and Paleozoic eras, as life exploded into being on planet Earth. Along the main drag of campus, explore the many dino activities and fossils to better understand life in the Mesozoic Era, better known as the Time of the Dinosaurs. You’ll discover what dinosaurs ate, how they interacted, and how the Age of the Dinosaurs came to a close, all through interactive stations. Wrap up your day with a stroll through Explore the Wild, meeting community partners and gaining opportunities to learn about our current era, the Cenozoic Era: the Age of Mammals.

Whether you’re already a dinosaur expert or an enthusiastic new learner, there will be plenty of activities to grow your understanding of these incredible extinct animals! Visit all the Dino Academy Stations to earn your title as a Paleontologist!
