Review:

History is fascinating, and though it might sound like a dry subject for kids, at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, there are some really cool Native American artifacts and interactive exhibits to help everyone understand the history of the place. Outside, the Agate Fossil Hills—Carnegie Hill and University Hill—are two distinct landmarks where scientists uncovered fossils of animals that lived millions of years ago during a period of time called the Miocene Epoch. The reconstructed skeletons of those fossils, and stories about the strange, extinct animals that they once were, can be found in the visitor center.
