Great place to visit, lots of dinosaurs, full size models. Suggest bringing kids and purchasing the find a fossil package in which you buy a large bag of sand then go to the water trough and screen for fossils. Lots of gifts, pricing is favorable. My son bought a real dinosaur foot print fossil. Our 4 year old granddaughter is in to dinosaurs, she loved it. Owners very friendly. We will be back!

GIna & the staff at the Rock, Fossil, & Dinosaur Shop gave our son an awesome birthday party. There was a brief presentation on dinosaurs who roamed what's now Deerfield, and then the kids did the sandpit, mining, and panning activities. Everyone was so friendly. All of the six-year-olds and even our son's older sister had so much fun. Thanks, Gina & all!

Such a wholesome experience. My friend discovered this place and told me to take my kiddos. The women working there were “all in”, imaginative and created such a great experience for the kids. The mining and sifting were their favorites though there is a lot more to discover than meets the eye. We spent a good 1.5-2 hours here, I wasn’t keeping track just enjoyed watching the kids discover. Thank you so much! We will be back soon. :)

Booking was easy for our small group! Staff greeted the kids and gave them information on the history of the area and what they were about to do. Staff was attentive to the kids needs and kept them engaged. The kids were very excited to be there and so excited to take home their rock treasures!

We just celebrated our sons 7th birthday here! Everyone had a great time, Gina and staff were very kind and helpful. Booking the party was incredibly easy. Anyone looking for a laid back birthday venue or a fun activity to do with the kids, I highly recommend The Rock Fossil and Dinosaur Shop.

We recently hosted our daughter's 5th birthday party here and it was WONDERFUL!! They offered 3 main activities for the children to do during the party. The price of the party was determined by how many children participated/activity. We chose to offer all 3 options (panning, mine shaft and group dig) and are SO glad we did. The kids were all able to keep ALL of the rocks/shells/fossils they found from all 3 activities (can we all just appreciate the fact that as a host i did not have to put together thank you bags for each child because they all left with their treasures!) Gina started the party off with a wonderful educational introduction about the geology and dinosaur population of western MA. kids ranged in ages from 8-3 and everyone had a ton of fun. The shop itself was fun, especially if you are into rocks and fossils. much more merchandise for sale than we had expected. They also had a small nature trail with life sized dinosaur models. Honestly, we were beyond pleased with our experience and would highly recommend this place for a drive-by stop and check it out visit or a children's party. Gina and Vicky were wonderful. Parents of the children who attended kept telling us how impressed they were. The only downside was that 4 people did find ticks walking on them during the party. In all fairness it is a very strong year for ticks and had we had a back yard birthday party i am sure a tick or 2 would have been found as well. That being said, we brought the ticks to the attention of Vicky and she did tell us they had recently treated the area for ticks. I had some DEET bug spray in my vehicle so i brought it out and made it available for the guests to use. Nutshell, hidden gem for a bday party location but bring some bug spray

We had a birthday party here with kids ages 2-7, and they had a blast. Our rock hound son is thrilled about his goodie bag of gems, arrowheads, crystals, shark teeth, and more that he got to find on his own. The owners were wonderful and made everything seamless for us. What a wonderful little hidden gem!

We had a lovely time here today. My 5 year old and 7 year old mined for gems and panned for treasure, walked through the dino path and looked for fossils in the sand. We had a great time. Clean and the employees were super kind and welcoming. Perfect for a beautiful day like today. Happy to patronize a small business. The gift shop was very beautiful as well.
