Upcoming Events

Just in geologic time: Rockin' Minerals (formerly known as Mineral Madness) turns thirty-one! You're invited to dig into the rockin' world of minerals on Saturday and Sunday, January 18 and 19 from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. to celebrate the thirty first anniversary of this popular event.

We don’t take rocks for granite! Enjoy fun, hands-on activities for families. Visit geology and fossil activity stations where children can collect rocks, minerals, and fossils in their own egg carton collection box. We will have a focus this year on volcanic rocks. Visit the animatronic dinosaurs on the Museum grounds. And shop for your own mineral and fossil treasures at rock-bottom prices! You'll see a great variety of minerals and fossils from around the world, including:

- Rare Minerals
- Rock Sculptures including small dinosaur replicas
- Gemstones & Jewelry
- Wire wrapping
- Plant & Rock Combos
- Lapidary Rock & Fluorescent minerals
- Rock Readings (bring your own rock and our experts can tell you about it)

Have we whet your apatite yet?
