Purchase gemstone and fossil bags from the gift shops (one in the museum, one in the Apatosaurus belly) to use with the panning sluice—reviewers highlight this as a top experience and great take-home souvenir, especially for kids.
Visitor tip
The dinosaurs are repainted seasonally with different colors and decorations, so return visits offer fresh photo opportunities. Check ahead or ask staff about current designs to plan your visit around favorite themes.
