Tate Geological Museum The Tate Geological Museum is a privately funded institution associated with Casper College in Casper, Wyoming. This museum offers wonderful programs and exhibits to students of all ages including dinosaurs, fossils, volcanoes, rocks and more. If field trips and fossils are your thing then don't miss the Cottonwood Creek Dinosaur Trail at Alcova, Wyoming. Keep an eye out for vertebrate fossils, such as dinosaurs and marine reptiles but remember not to take any with you so others can enjoy them too. Besides, it is illegal to remove any fossils from public lands without a permit. The Tate Geological Museum also offers incredible teaching tools to the local schools. One of the most popular programs is the Museum Teaching Trunks. The trunks contain resource materials, specimens, replicas, videos, books and a teachers guide and cover subjects like dinosaurs, fossils and much more. This exciting educational program is funded in part by the Board of Cooperative Educational Services and Classroom Wyoming. The museum is open Monday - Friday 9a.m. - 4 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. and is closed on Sundays and Major Public Holidays. |
