Lafayette, LA

Join us Saturday, September 13 from 10am-2pm for STEM Saturday: National Fossil Day Artwork. Each year, National Fossil Day is designated to recognize the scientific and educational value of paleontology and promote the discovery and preservation of fossils. We’ll create original artwork celebrating fossils to be displayed leading up to National Fossil Day, which will be celebrated this year on October 15, 2025

STEM Saturday activities are included with regular museum admission. Activities are open-ended allowing visitors to come and go while touring exhibits and the planetarium. Best for elementary and middle school ages, but older kids and adults can have fun learning something new or helping younger children. #halliburtongiving
