This outdoor Dino Dig exhibit is a realistic fossil dig site where more than 60 fossils are waiting to be unearthed many of which are replicas of those discovered in Montana by Jack Horner, the famed paleontologist who inspired Jurassic Park.

There are a number of fossils to uncover including T.rex bones, an egg nest, a baby Maiasaura, a 6ft long Triceratops skull and even a dragonfly! Plus the Raptor Zone with complete skeletons of a Velociraptor and a Deinonychus. My three boys who range in ages from 3-8, each enjoyed digging up the fossils and learning cool dinosaur facts.

Grossology (included in general admission ticket)

This premium (requires an additional admission fee), gets down & dirty explains all the GROSS things about the human body!

The Grossology exhibit is a super interactive one that explores all the slimy, oozy, crusty, stinky questions you have about your body!

You can climb a “wall” of skin, check out the inside of a nose (including hanging nasal hairs), play a larger than life-size game of Operation, slide through a mouth and much much more!

Arthur’s World

The story book world of Elwood City is brought to life in this fun exhibit! Guests are encouraged to read & learn when visiting a number of the iconic settings in Arthur’s World.

Visit Arthur’s family kitchen to cook up a meal for the whole family, dress Arthur up in one of his seasonal outfits or explore Mr. Ratburn’s classroom.
