Join an Excavator Tour and open a window into Ice Age Los Angeles! This 45–60 minute guided walking tour takes you from inside the museum, outside our Fossil Lab, and out through the park ending at our current excavation site, Project 23! It’s truly a journey through past and present Los Angeles and showcases the new things we’re learning every day. Meet us at the Fossil Lab.
