My grandson loves rocks, especially fossils. His dream came true at the digging site. We found a variety of intact plant parts, leaves, etc. The key is proper tools and the patience to carefully split the sedimentary layers apart. The staff were most helpful and answered all our questions. We will definitely go back.

The museum was being refurbished, so I can only comment on dig site - it was fun! Bring your own tools, pretty much any chisel will work. Site is in full sun so be prepared. You can leave site (lunch) and return. The site is short walk (200 yds?) from museum, disabled parking at dig. Pretty much 100% you will find some sort of fossil, likely fern or leaf, even without tools.
Great time found lots of cool fossils
The office in town is an educational exhibit about fossils and local history, its really neat. It also has a gift shop and by asking permission, usually with a 10 pass, you can go fossil hunting at the dig site. Great overal organization.
Nice little museum featuring a lot of local fossils from when Curlew lake was much different. Pay a little money and go up the hill to collect your own fossils if you wish. We were able to find our limit of fossils. We didn't find any animals, only plants. Still cool to crack open a rock and find something though. Definitely bring water and sun screen
