Dig into Geodes

Let's Dig into Geodes and see what's inside! Wow!

Join us at the Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology, next to the Old Pen, for a fun morning of geode-cracking, a short and easy geo-hike on the nearby hillside and a museum visitation. Geode-cracking takes place from 10am-1pm outside under shade canopies on the grass of the historic Women’s Ward. A 40-minute hillside geology hike is scheduled for 11am and for 12 Noon.

Admission:

Adult Non-members of the IMMG—$4

Children —$4

All children over age 3 years (members and nonmembers)receive one small geode free

Adult IMMG Members & their children—Free Admission

All adults (members too) who wish to crack a geode, and children who would like a second geode, will need to pay the recommended donation at the site. If you have never cracked open a geode with a giant pipe-cutter, you are in for an exciting moment. What Mother Nature has created is truly amazing.

Please register at your preferred time. There are 6 time slots. Contact operations@idahomuseum.org if you have questions, or would like to discuss bringing a scout, school or other group.

Delicious hotdogs will be on sale by Updog Street Food beginning at 10 AM.

This event is supported by a grant from the Idaho Humanities Council!
