Dino Smash Aug 16, 3-6pm
- In stock, ready to ship
Can you free the dinosaur trapped in a frozen, watery egg? Time to experiment and find out!
What to Expect:
🧊 Hands-On Science: Try out different excavation methods—warm water, salt, tools... even hammers! What works best? You decide.
🧒 Perfect for Young Paleontologists: Designed with ages 5–8 in mind, but younger kids can join in too (just water and adult help, please!).
🦺 Safety First: Anyone using a hammer must wear padded gloves and safety glasses—we'll provide them. If hammers are in use, everyone in the room wears safety glasses, no exceptions.
👨👩👧 Fun for All Ages: Kids and adults are all welcome to play!
🗓️ Registration: Advance registration is STRONGLY encouraged: We handcraft the frozen eggs and need to know how many to make in advance. A few walks-ins *might* be accommodated (if supplies are available) and day-of payment can be made at the register.📅 Want a Calendar Reminder? Register in advance to easily add the event to your calendar and help us make sure there are enough eggs for everyone.
