Jonathan Harrison:

"A lovely little place to visit to whittle away an hour or so. The fossils are plentiful, and no special equipment is needed, aside from a natural desire to look and find. The fossils are mainly smaller water-based creatures, but it's still great to find such perfectly preserved fossils."

"First time to visit here. The entire park is very open and family friendly. The volunteer that was working today was wealth of knowledge and able to identify all fossils found. He was very good working with the young kids also. I will be going back again."

"Visited the park about a year or so ago, and it was absolutely amazing. Revisited again , and it was a less than an enjoyable experience. There were no tools allowed(we had them at our last visit) so fossils were not as easy to find other than those visible to the naked eye. Small children had difficulty getting anywhere without tools so they quickly became bored and played in the mud(wear old shoes and clothes) As on our previous visit there’s was a very informative man. On approach, he was laying on the ground on his back! I thought his blood sugar was low or he was having a cardiac event. We only know these things because he informed us of them on our last visit after noticing my 8yr old grandchild’s scar from several open heart surgeries (she’s very sensitive about the scars). We realized he was ok because he never stopped talking during our whole visit! It’s great that you have such an informed attendant but perhaps he needs to “read the pit(room)” It became annoying at times . Like we know you are smart buddy but maybe let people come to you with questions and practice the pause? It’s great that you have such a knowledgeable volunteer (honestly he knows so much) , they’re hard to come by these days. However, it and the lack of ability to actually “dig” made our experience not worth the time invested. Note: The children involved were 5,7 and 9 so perhaps it’s best for older children or having more adults to help with the extraction process was our primary issue"

"Great fun for a few hours. Fossils a fairly plentiful and likely you will find one before too long. Free to go, there were many kids running around burning off energy. There are several different types of fossils and you can take them with you. Plenty of parking and easy to get to near Mayberry."
