I Dig the Ice Age!
Offsite
10:00 am to 12:00 pm for preschool-grade 5.
Mammoths, peccaries, cave bears and more roamed the Ozarks during the Pleistocene Era, and many visited the caves and caverns of the landscape, searching for food or shelter. Discovered in 2001 as a result of blasting that was taking place to construct a new road, Riverbluff Cave is considered the oldest known ice age fossil cave in North America! The cave is not open to the public, but the museum near the site is filled with exhibits to examine and explore. Join us with our partners at the Missouri Institute of Natural Science to visit the fossil exhibits, learn about the Missouri Ozarks during the ice age and dig into fun activities. You might even walk away with your very own fossil! Discover books about the ice age and other "cool" topics on the Mobile Library, parked on the grounds of the institute. Parking at the institute is limited, but the extended time for the activities should allow all our audiences to come and go. At Missouri Institute of Natural Science, 2327 W. Farm Road 190.
