Who wants to pet a real dinosaur? Kids who love "Jurassic Park" will have a unique chance to play paleontologist at The Palm Beach Museum of Natural History's Jurassic Camp. The Palm Beach Museum of Natural History's Jurassic Camp is in The Mall at Wellington Green, 10300 W. Forest Hill Blvd., Suite 172, Wellington. The museum's popular summer youth camp and is open now through August 5 and walk-ins are accepted.

Now through August 5, 2022, kids of all ages (5+) are invited to become junior paleontologists, geologists, and archaeologists at Jurassic Camp at The Palm Beach Museum of Natural History. Tucked inside The Mall at Wellington Green, kids enjoy hands-on, STEAM-based multidisciplinary learning, games, and activities, from identifying Ice Age fossils and Native American artifacts, to taking selfies with "Cheryll," the museum's 68-million-year-old Triceratops (and the only actual dinosaur skeleton in South Florida). Kids also take field trips around the mall, from technology workshops at Apple, cuddly bear customization at Build-A-Bear Workshop, cooking classes at California Pizza Kitchen, and more.

Camp registration is $30, and weekly fees are $250. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information, contact Shana Campbell, Director of Education, at (561) 275-6233, or email: [email protected].
