About

Open: 7 days a week, 10 AM to 5 PM. See website for special holiday hours. The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm displays trace fossils, such as footprints, impressions, and burrows from animals that lived nearly 200 million years ago during the Early Jurassic. Trace fossils tell us about behavior such as swimming, running, and crouching. Uniquely, the museum was built directly over the discovery site, leaving large blocks of fossils in place. Exhibits are self-guided with videos scattered throughout explaining the science of the site. An audio tour of the exhibits can be found on the website along with a virtual tour. All exhibits are housed inside a temperature controlled building.
