TEACHER'S ROCK - JMDC TEACHER APPRECIATION OPEN HOUSE
Teachers, We’re Celebrating You!
As a thank-you for your support, Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center invites you and your family to a special Teacher Appreciation Open House!
Come explore the wonders of discovery and see how our engaging Learning Expeditions bring classroom lessons to life through hands-on experiences in geology, paleontology, natural history, and life science.
Participate in one of our Learning Expeditions you have not experienced before:
Travel through prehistoric history!
Discover why some species disappeared while others survived for millions of years. Complete your journey through time by polishing a real ammonite fossil to take home as your own prehistoric souvenir!
Strike it rich in the wild west!
Step back in time to the exciting days of the California Gold Rush. Learn about the adventures, challenges, and history of the people who came west in search of fortune. Then test your skills as a prospector by panning for gold and gemstones.
Become a junior paleontologist!
Grab your excavation tools and journey to our dinosaur dig site. Discover fascinating facts about dinosaurs, learn how paleontologists uncover clues from the past, and work together with your team to unearth a life-sized Allosaurus skeleton hidden beneath the ground!
Meet amazing animals and explore their habitats!
Explore diverse ecosystems, learn about genetics and symbiotic relationships, and get up close with some of the fascinating live critters that call these habitats home.
During your visit, you can:
- Explore our outdoor classrooms
