Roar into Rockford for Prehistoric Party at PaleoFest this Weekend
Rockford's Burpee Museum of Natural History is celebrating 25 years of PaleoFest, and you get to join in on all the fun this weekend with the kiddos.
I wish I was more into history as a kid because I feel like I'd be a fossil collector at this point in my life. Sounds like a pretty relaxing, and unique, hobby to have!
If you love dinosaurs, enjoy rock collecting, or consider yourself a pro fossil digger, you'll have a roaring good time at Paleofest at Rockford's Burpee Museum.
Paleofest Coming To Rockford, Illinois This Weekend
From Friday, March 3rd through Sunday, March 5th, Scientists and researchers will be educating guests about cutting edge research and new discoveries made around the world.
If you know you can't sit through a full seminar, no worries! Families can engage in hands-on activities like fun workshops, lectures for children, and exhibit tours for families throughout the Burpee Museum.
There will be tons to do with your kids and make sure to dress up in your favorite dino costume! There will be contests you don't want to miss.
Learn about prehistoric animals and explore the halls of Burpee! Tickets vary, but you can find all the admission prices on Burpee Museum's website!
