## About

Ice Age Fossils State Park hosts an indoor Pop-Up Paleo Lab on Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Visitors watch a paleontologist prepare and conserve fossils from the park collection, ask questions, and hear how that work is done. The park calls the content introductory and says the program is for visitors of all ages and is kid friendly. Minors under 16 must come with an adult. People may drop in anytime during the two hours. Registration is not required, and pets are not allowed. Park entry is $3 per person, kids 12 and under are free, and the page says there is no extra charge for the lab. Interpreters Dawn Reynoso and Emilisa Saunders are the contacts, at 702-533-7819. This lab is a different program from the mock-dig session the park lists the next day.
