You and your family (or just you) can spend a day or the week exploring the world of dinosaurs. During the day, you will prospect for fossils of both dinosaurs and other animals of the Cretaceous Period, help find and excavate actual dinosaur fossils, and participate in fun dinosaur activities. Evening activities include fun dinosaur games, making casts of dinosaur fossils, dinosaur movies and more!

Our family adventures are designed for adults and families with children 8 and older to experience the excitement of finding dinosaur fossils in the badlands together. Parents are expected to supervise their children while in the field and in town at all times.

Fees include ground transportation, continental breakfast and lunch daily, any entrance fees, field supplies, presentations, and evening activities. 

Thanks to funding from the Bureau of Land Management we are able to continue offering our Paleo X Family Adventure Days free for all Montana residents.

Fees DO NOT include rooming expenses. If you are staying overnight in Jordan we recommend the Garfield Motel for room accommodations.

All participants should plan to meet staff at the Garfield Motel in Jordan Montana between 7 and 8 am on the day of their program.
