DinoFEST Weekend

For DinoFEST 2026, we’re expanding to TWO full days of our annual celebration of dinosaurs, geology, and paleontology!

Enjoy all your favorite DinoFEST activities, and check out some new experiences!

• Explore our oversized foam dino dig pit
• Get your hands dirty in our oobleck pits
• Keep your dino-hunting eyes peeled for our wandering life-sized Theropod friend, Spike, throughout the day! 
• Test your dino identification skills in our Name That Dino sessions in our auditorium
• Enjoy special encounters with our Baby Stanley character
• Check out some of the museum’s prehistoric collections
• and stop at one of our many activity and demo stations throughout the museum exploring dinosaurs, paleontology, and geology!

You can also take part our optional activities throughout the day:
Due to the incredible demand for these optional add-ons last year, we’re ordering larger quantities for 2026!

• Fossil sifting bags& sluice station
• Stuff-a-Dino
• SATURDAY ONLY Paint-a-Dino
• SUNDAY ONLY Beaded Dinosaur
