Jurassic Gardens at Volo Museum

Mine for Fossils & Gems in a Hands-On Sluice Adventure

Volo Museum – The Ultimate All-Day Adventure

Step into Jurassic Gardens and become a modern-day prospector. Choose from several mining bag types and sizes (available for purchase in the Jurassic Gardens Gift Shop), then head to the water sluice where you’ll wash away the sand to uncover what’s hidden inside—fossils, gems, and other surprises. It’s part discovery, part treasure hunt, and 100% satisfying… and the best part? You keep everything you find. This isn’t just an activity — it’s an unforgettable, take-home experience packed with excitement, curiosity, and “look what I found!” moments.

Two children, a girl and a boy, stand at a water trough using wooden screens to sift through muddy water for gemstones or fossils inside a display area with large dinosaur models in the background.
