Junior Geologist Expeditions are recommended for explorers ages 5 through 12 years old. Please note that children over age 12 may enjoy the style and content of Private Expeditions more. It’s up to you and your explorer to pick the expedition that’s right for your group – but we are happy to discuss your options and the differences between the tours! Contact our Science Program Coordinator Robin (robin@penndixie.org) with questions.
Each tour can accommodate up to 10 participants. 1 adult is required to remain with the child(ren) throughout the duration of the tour. We require at least 1 adult present for every 4 children.
Child tickets are $69, adult tickets are $79. Members receive a 10% discount, please contact the office prior to booking to receive your discount code.
Please note that Junior Geologist Expeditions are geared towards children and your group must have at least 1 child participant.
