Do you have a curious kid who’s constantly digging in the dirt or asking how the pyramids were built? It’s time to trade the backyard for a time machine!

Paleontology Academy is an immersive library series designed to turn elementary students into world-class explorers. We’re crossing the boundaries of time to explore the bridge between the natural world and human history. Through a mix of high-energy storytelling and hands-on discovery, your child won’t just learn about the past—they’ll touch it.

This program is for rising grades 1–5 only. No registration is required, but space may be limited.
