Have you ever wanted to dig up real dinosaur bones?
Every summer, crews from Burpee Museum lead expeditions to the Badlands of Utah and Montana to participate in fossil excavations. Team members prospect for new bones eroding out of the hills, learn how to properly excavate fossils and how to protect them for their journey back to the Burpee paleontology lab where they will be cleaned by skilled fossil preparators for research and exhibit.
No Experience Needed
No Experience is needed to join the team. Our paleontologists will provide hands-on training in the field on how to recognize dinosaur bone and proper excavation techniques to safely remove them from the rock.
https://burpee.org/expeditions
Make everlasting memories at Burpee museum with your budding scientist! Spark the fire of learning together with "My First..." classes!
Grab your goggles and get ready! We’re doing science at the museum! Make your own bubbling liquid lava lamp and explore the science of hydrophobic substances!

Burpee is offering In-Person Merit Badges!
In this class, scouts will earn their Bird Study Merit Badge. Be prepared to look for these amazing creatures outside. We’ll discover amazing bird adaptations using mounts and other items from the Museum’s Collections. Scouts will learn how to use field guides and binoculars and use their new skills to identify birds found on the museum grounds, or in their own local park.
Some homework is required, worksheets will be provided upon registration. If the homework is completed, the scouts will have earned their Bird Study Merit Badge and our registered counselors can sign off on their Blue Cards.

Have you ever wanted to dig up real dinosaur bones?
Every summer, crews from Burpee Museum lead expeditions to the Badlands of Utah and Montana to participate in fossil excavations. Team members prospect for new bones eroding out of the hills, learn how to properly excavate fossils and how to protect them for their journey back to the Burpee paleontology lab where they will be cleaned by skilled fossil preparators for research and exhibit.
No Experience Needed
No Experience is needed to join the team. Our paleontologists will provide hands-on training in the field on how to recognize dinosaur bone and proper excavation techniques to safely remove them from the rock.
