Rocks and fossils fill the museum during this exhibit. You can interact with hundreds of specimens by experimenting at the geology stations. The nature of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock can be explored through hands-on experiences.

Special fossil presentations lead to an appreciation of life through time. Precious crystals and gemstones are on view too. Visitors can touch the real, three foot dinosaur leg bones. The dinosaur presentation area has fossils and models for all ages to enjoy. A dinosaur activity area is designed for the little ones in the audience. Rocks located on the museum grounds are featured in the nature walk guide.
