I chose this museum because it has a children's dig. They hand you a chisel and brush and a pair of goggles and let you loose! It wasn't what I expected though-no dirt to dig through, just carefully chisseling hard stone. You can't bang the chissel, only scrape or twist it. I went back and asked if there was actually anything in there. They said there are three actual fossils in there but you aren't going to find them. It's mainly just sand and wax in there. They replace the material every three months or so.
You can see Justin happily bringing us a handful of tiny "bone fragments."
