How to Re-pour the Dino Dig Pit

Your kids love it. They race to the exhibit, put on their goggles, grab a brush, and start digging! It's the dino dig pit in Dinosphere! But what happens when those aspiring paleontologists actually unveil the fossils? What will future visitors do?

This actually happens quite often. About every month and a half our young visitors uncover the fossils in the dino dig pit and we have to cover them back up. The process for doing that is a unique one. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is all about AUTHENTIC experiences. So instead of using sand, which wouldn't give a true digging experience, we invented our own trade secret. In This Week's WOW, Dino Josh reveals how it's done . . . take a look:

And if that's not real enough for you, families and adults can actually travel with museum experts to Northern Wyoming and dig into the past with The Children's Museum during the annual Wyoming DInosaurAdventure. It's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Happy digging!
