March 3rd – March 5th. Join us as Burpee Museum celebrates 25 years of PaleoFest, with research talks from paleontologists around the world, and special activities and programming!
Dino-lovers, rock collectors, and fossil diggers unite for an internationally attended festival.

Many of the talks will focus on our speakers’ cutting edge research and amazing new discoveries.
Not Just for Professional Scientists:
Students, interested community members, and aspiring scientists are encouraged to join the experts as they share stories, research, and experiences. It is a great opportunity to make connections and become inspired!
