At The Montana Dinosaur Center, we believe that active, hands-on learning is the key to sparking curiosity and fostering a deep understanding of paleontology. Our interactive school programs offer students the opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of dinosaurs and ancient life in a way that goes far beyond textbooks. Let your students experience paleontology firsthand through engaging and educational activities designed for school groups.
To take advantage of our special school group discounts, the group must be part of a state-recognized educational institution. For information on our general dig programs, please click here.
