Go on a geology or fossil-hunting expedition

“I was extremely excited to go fossil hunting at Big Brook Park in Colts Neck, New Jersey. Digging for fossils is something that I have always wanted to do, and being able to do it with the museum made the experience even more amazing. Searching for fossils in the creek with people of all ages created a learning experience for everyone, myself included. I found fossils of shells, squids, and even a shark's tooth.”

“I went to the North Yorkshire coast (UK) and met a guy who was trying to crack a rock open with a hammer. I asked him what he was doing and turns out he was fossil hunting, and spent a decent amount of time giving me loads of free info, and he got really excited when I showed him what I found. It was so nice how friendly the guy was, I honestly expected fossil hunting to be more competitive, but it seems like everyone just likes to be outside in the peace and quiet, looking for cool stuff. I've already been on a second hunt since, and I plan on many more.”
