A small museum reviewers say holds kids for an afternoon: a hands-on STEAM lab, fossils, clay fossil-making and touchable printed bones. A short educational film runs on a loop. Reviewers single out the large, spotless toilets. Step-free enough for visitors with mobility problems.

A compact paleontology museum starring 'Max' the mastodon and Ice Age fossils dug from Diamond Valley Lake.

    We were heading home from palm springs. This is museum is highly recommend. Lot of interactive activities for the kids . Will have them thinking, building, and drawing. The best part was making the fossils. Will be back with more family members.
