Get ready to travel back in time and explore the incredible world of dinosaurs and prehistoric life. During Paleontology Weekend at Stepping Stones, young explorers will embark on a hands-on adventure to unearth the wonders of the past and become junior paleontologists.
Through engaging activities and special experiences, families will discover how animals adapted and evolved to survive, learn about the time periods that define paleontology and dig into Connecticut’s own prehistoric past.
