Don’t miss out on the Driscoll Public Library’s exciting end of summer event. The George S Woods Community Center will be transformed into a prehistoric museum! The museum will be open 10 am – 5 pm Friday, August 16. The Dinosaur George Traveling Museum is one of the largest traveling prehistoric exhibits in North America. The museum showcases a diverse range of prehistoric creatures with a primary focus on dinosaurs. From massive dinosaur skulls to intricate fossil replicas, you’ll be able to view exhibit pieces from around the world and from every time period. In addition to dinosaurs, see other fascinating prehistoric animals such as fish and mammals providing a comprehensive view of Earth’s history. You will also have an opportunity to visit the Dinosaur George Gift Shop where you will be able to purchase your very own fossils, minerals, etcetera.
This event is a “come and go” event meaning the items will be on display the entire day and guests are invited to attend at their leisure. The event is open to all ages no reservations required. We do ask that if you plan to attend with a group larger than 10 that you call and let the library staff know the number in your group so that we can better serve you. For more information or questions please call 830.663.2993.
