At the Dino Dig, visitors conduct their own excavation and unearth dinosaur bones that could be found on a South Dakota farm, just like the now-famous T. rex named Sue!
The Dino Dig inspires and stimulates children’s interest in paleontology and archeology. They’ll share in the awe of discovery as they hear Mama, a life-sized animatronic T. rex that stands 25 feet tall and 60 feet long roar from just around the bend.
Using math skills of comparison, children will develop an appreciation of the size of a dinosaur versus other animals. Or, they’ll just keep digging. Either way, it’s a great way to learn through play.
