Dig for Real Dinosaurs in Colorado

At Dinosaur Journey, you don’t just look at fossils—you discover them.

Our Dinosaur Digs take you into the fossil-rich landscapes of Western Colorado where participants work alongside professional paleontologists excavating dinosaur bones, prospecting for new fossil sites, and preparing specimens in our laboratory.

Whether you’re a beginner or a lifelong dinosaur enthusiast, we offer half-day digs, full-day quarry excavations, and multi-day paleo expeditions.

Spots are limited and most programs sell out each summer.
