“There is so much misinformation and myths surrounding dinosaurs, mainly because of popular films. The Academy is focused this year on myth busting and educating kids about real facts while having fun,” stated Museum Assistant Director, Natalie Bonner. The cost of the workshop is $40 per child. Space is limited to 30 children per session, and their spot is only reserved upon payment.

For class reservations please stop by the museum Wed.-Sat. 10am-4pm.
