Field Paleontologist Mike and Roberta Straka will present the “MASTODONS, CAVEMEN AND BEARS-OH MY” show. This program will highlight the ice age and explore the life of cavemen and the unusual animals that inhabited the planet. We will feature two amazing skulls – a SABRE-TOOTH TIGER and a CAVE BEAR, that our team excavated.  Your patrons will see actual fossils and early tools of humans. Finally, we’ll host the “Are You Smarter Than a Caveman” game show.

In addition, each child will have the opportunity to dig up a real Mastodon bone and help us build a Mastodon!
