Celebrate National Fossil Day at The Nat. From 10 AM to 2 PM, our staff and volunteers will facilitate activities and displays on several levels of the Museum. Click to learn more.

Head to Amazement in the Basement on the lower level to observe and maybe even take part in fossil preparation with our paleontology staff. They’ve rounded up some incredible Ice Age fossils to observe. While there, peek into our paleontology collection and see more fossils that were found right here in San Diego.  

On Level 2, take a walk through prehistoric Southern California in Fossil Mysteries, chat with our knowledgeable volunteers, and examine fascinating specimens.
