Participation is limited to a first come first served basis so please sign up early! Advanced payment of $5.00 for each child will guarantee your reserved spot for the special rocks for kids event. Registration is limited so that we may be sure of having enough specimens for all of the students. Walk ins are also welcome.

Rocks4Kids Day is fun and rewarding for students in grades 1-8 and supervising adult (parents, grandparent, guardian ect). Only the student pays to register. All attendees must be accompanied by an adult. They will learn about minerals, crystals, and fossils at a series of stations and the student will receive samples to begin their own rock collection. It will take about two hours to complete the stations. Sign up for your preferred start time so that we can spread the crowd out through the day.
