Families can stop at the fossil table at any point during the program to compare fossils from prehistoric creatures with the body parts of their modern-day counterparts, and staff explain Texas's ancient underwater past and the fossil evidence that can still be found around Austin. Each child can choose a real fossil to take home. The center's Saturday programs are free, family-friendly science activities of about 30 minutes that run on a drop-in basis through the late morning and early afternoon, so it is easy to combine a visit with the center's animal exhibits, the Dino Pit and a walk in the surrounding Zilker Nature Preserve. ## Similar picks in Austin - [Moonlight Nature Night at the Austin Nature & Science Center](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/moonlight-nature-night-at-the-austin-nature-and-science-center--listing-a04eeccfc799c8d1e68f960d) — Sat, Nov 7 · 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Austin Nature & Science Center · All ages · Free · checked Oct 20.
