FIELD TRIPS - Booking now for Fall, Winter and Summer!

Give your students a science adventure they’ll never forget! At the Learning Lab, budding scientists can dig, discover, and explore geology in a fun and exciting way. We’ve got gemstone mining, an immersive sandbox, and rock and mineral discovery tables that supports active learning.

Gem Mining - Our gem mining sluice is a long wooden trough with rushing river water. It’s a great setup for uncovering lots of hidden treasures. It’s exciting, hands-on fun that keeps kids engaged and curious. Experience gem mining just like a prospector and keep all your finds!

Animated Sandbox - Shape real sand to unlock digital worlds—uncover fossils, dig for treasures, and bring landscapes to life. With themes like dinosaurs, bugs, animals, and oceans, the AR Sandbox makes STEM learning exciting and full of surprises.
