Great place to stop on the way in to learn a little about the history of the region. So cool to think that area used to be the sea floor!
After 5 years of hard work by the nonprofit Big Bend Conservancy and many others, this fantastic new exhibit houses some rare and unique fossils including a previously undiscovered species of dinosaur that once roamed this region, all in a beautiful off-the-grid building designed by Lake Flato to blend in to the terrain and not obstruct the gorgeous views of the Big Bend.
Makes you want to go Fossil hunting! The ancient Dino alligator head is huge! The exhibit is out side, so dress accordingly.
Finally, the old displays replaced by an excellent new version! Small but very informative displays with excellent models of the dino and croc ones found at Big Bend. Maps clearly show what the area was like during the different geologic times.
It was okay.This was set up pretty cool with walk-ways through the desert, covered areas, and steps climbing up to an overlook. My biggest complaint has nothing to do with the exhibit itself but with a family there who wasn't watching their kids at all and the little girl climbed over the edge of the lookout and was hiding on a little cliff. All that family's kids were darting out in front of people on the steps and walkways, yelling, running into people, etc... and the parents did nothing. Made the whole thing rather unpleasant and we just went back to our car rather than deal with them.
