Has anyone does this program? I am currently planning our trip for the week after the program ends. Is it worth moving up our trip a week for it? I think it is just an hour and a half program but my 7 yo ds enjoys hands on acitivities. Any other %26#39;digging%26#39; opportunities in that area?
Jr. Paleontologist program at Hot Springs
Hi,
We took our trip around Memorial weekend so no Jr. Paleo for our kids either. They still had a great time. The Mammoth Site has some light-weight, large replica bones for photo ops. The dino museum in Hill City has a sand table with ';fossils'; to be uncovered. Its small, about 2%26#39; by 4%26#39;, but my 6 year old son really enjoyed it.

Your 7 year old would probably also enjoy panning for gold. You can check out Big Thunder Gold Mine in Keystone for a mine tour, followed by some panning.
Everything Prehistoric that Lil mentioned is a great find also and has some great dinosaur skeletons and gems.
Thanks for the feedback. I decided to stick with my original itinerary since it should overall be less crowded in the third week of August. Air tickets are booked so it%26#39;s a done deal now.
