The meteorite information and sliced piece was so interesting to see! An instructor saw us and encouraged us to visit other areas of the building to see fossils. It was so fascinating to see the fossils as well. Very cool place to visit! Don’t forget to check out “Stonehenge” right outside of the building. Lots of good information there as well. You may even spot the robot roaming the yard. We loved that!"
