Homeschooling families are invited to join us for Homeschool Days during the 2024-2025 school year.

Introducing Our New Format for 2024-2025!

Join us for Science Fair programming in the morning (10 AM – 12:30 PM) and/or Fossil Lab programming in the afternoon (1 PM – 2:30 PM). Students can register for one or both programs. Please note: students will need to register for each program separately.  There is an age restriction for the Fossil Lab afternoon programming.

In the morning, students will explore engaging learning stations throughout the gallery, focusing on dinosaurs, fossil formation, palaeobiology, palaeoecology, evolution, and the scientific method. As you journey through the stations, fill out your “Passport Through Time.” In the afternoon, students will enjoy a Palaeo Talk from our curator, Dr. Bamforth, followed by a hands-on activity session in our fossil lab with our palaeo team.

Homeschool Days content is geared toward Grades 1-12; however, younger students can register and receive a “Passport Through Time” as well. Students aged 12+ can be dropped off and attend without parental supervision.
