Nice piece full atmosphere. Clean and orderly. Great day trip. Offers senior and military discounts. Enjoyed the digg, park and information. Stay on the path because a large coral snake crossed the path I front of us.

Really neat and the ranger was super friendly and answered alot of our questions and even pointed out neat facts about the bones. I just dont think it was worth what they charge, I know its not a whole lot but I still think its to much for the little bit of stuff you see, they should definitely add some interactive stuff, possibly even a projected film on the wall or something.

This place is awesome! They arent showing you replicas of these mammoths, but the actual bones that have been discovered. This is because it also happens to be an ongoing dig site for archeologist. There is also the opportunity to volunteer here if your from around the area.

I had no idea I would enjoy this place so much. We have a 2.5 year old boy and we told him we were seeing the dinosaurs. Well, it was so informative and very interesting. There are several bones you can see and ask questions about. There a lot of fun facts about the mammoths and it was cool to learn them.

Its definitely an interesting area. The tour guide gave an excellent talk and explained exactly what we were seeing. It is however very small. Only the one covered area with the walking bridge over it. The kids enjoyed it. A good way to kill an hour and learn something interesting.
