Very disappointed. My friend and I made an appointment for 2pm to come out and when we showed up no one was around. The property is a mess and very rundown. There is also no phone service for 40 minutes so there’s no way to reach out to anyone once you are there so we drove around the property looking for someone and my friend ended up getting stuck in mud. Over 6 hours later after being told by 3 tow companies they can’t help until the morning, with all of our cold and hungry kids with us, the owner shows up and helps us get out. (Which is why I won’t give a 1 star review). But honestly he was rude, made fun of my friend for getting stuck in the mud and never apologized for not communicating with us before we made the 2 hour trek to his property. I will NEVER go out there again and I don’t recommend others go either.

Ken went all through the many many garnets that we found. He picked out all the very best ones and set aside the questionable ones. He charged us for the good ones and gave us the not so good ones for free. I really appreciate his honesty, he could have easily charged us for all of them. Also, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to spend a few hours.

This was my 2nd time here. The first was on a field trip as a 4th grader, where I loved it. I wish I had those same feelings on this trip. There are an extraordinary amount of beautiful fossils here, but you end up breaking so many in the quest to get one complete fossil. I found it frustrating and depressing.

This place was fantastic. The medium and large sized garnets were every third hand full minimum. Kenneth and Trinity are the most helpful, gracious, and honest people. The whole family had a blast finding raw gemstones and digging fossils.Fantastic finds in science and people. Thank you all so much, will definitely return. Highly recommended for schools, family, or anyone.

Fossil Bowl is awesome! Kenneth and Riley were so welcoming and helpful. Good people! Plan to get your hands dirty. I stayed there at the campsite and felt very safe! Bring newspaper to wrap them in. If they dry too fast, they will curl. Definitely will be back.

Very friendly and kind staff willing to answer questions about the fossils. They also offer a garnet digging option which was fun and interesting. Highly recommend, would be an awesome family activity with children as well. Well worth the stop.

Great place to hang out and ride dirt bikes. I took off on a few trails for a morning warmup, then I put in a couple sessions on the MX MX track. Caught up with some people I hadn't seen in awhile. Great day at Fossil Bowl.

Fossil Bowl was great!Mary Ann and I had a great time digging for fossils. The host was awesome and we even got our hands on some garnets. We camped out in the camping area and even experienced some overnight rain. We’re glad we stopped here.

My wife and I had a great time at the Fossil Bowl! Ken and his family took great care of us and helped us dig some fascinating fossils. Plus, we ended up also getting some star garnets. Can't wait to get the polished!
