Girl Scout Day at Dinosaur Ridge is back! Dinosaur Ridge is a National Natural Landmark just outside suburban Denver and has been ranked as the top dinosaur tracks in the United States!
Representatives from local STEM-focused organizations will lead hands-on activities for Girl Scouts. All Girl Scouts, friends, and family are invited. Girl Scouts will be completing various badge-earning steps throughout the experience!
The event starts at 9 a.m., and Girl Scouts have until 3 p.m. to complete activities. Troops and families should allow at least two hours to complete activities, so plan to arrive no later than 1 p.m
Save on your ticket and time in line by registering NOW! Advanced cost for Girl Scouts, family, and friends: $14. Day-of, walk-in entrance tickets can be purchased at Dinosaur Ridge for $18. Children 3 years old and younger are free and do not need to register. All Girl Scouts will receive a custom Dinosaur Ridge patch, included in the cost of registration.
Parking on-site! The field adjacent to the Visitors Center will be open for parking, cost $5 cash.
This is not a drop-off event. Girl Scouts and other youth must attend with a troop leader, parent, or guardian. Children are not permitted to attend without supervision.
Things to bring:
- Water, jacket, hat, sunscreen, and snacks.
- Good walking shoes.
- Your friends and family.
- Wear your vest or sash to show off your Girl Scout pride!
- A camera to document the day and share photos on social media using #GSColo or @GSColo
- The desire to learn about the creatures that walked the earth millions of years ago
