Ashfall Fossil Beds is an active dig site and part of the University of Nebraska State Museum. Guests can explore museum exhibits about the history of the park in our visitor center, watch our researchers excavate fossils (left in-situ) in our Rhino Barn, or talk with researchers in our Working Visible Lab. A variety of nature trails include watchable wildlife signs. Enjoy a picnic in our picnic pavilion, or let the kids become a paleontologist by digging in our fossil sandbox in the Heritage Center.
