Falls of the Ohio State Park: Fossil Bed Discovery Hike

Join a guided walk through the fossil beds at Falls of the Ohio State Park, where a naturalist will introduce your family to ancient marine life from the Devonian period. You'll examine real fossils while learning fascinating details about these creatures—what they looked like, what they ate, and how they ended up preserved in the rock layers you'll see. It's a hands-on way to explore your region's natural history. The program is completely free, thanks to support from the Fund for the Arts Cultural Pass. Just plan to wear closed-toe shoes for comfortable hiking through the park. This is a great outing for kids curious about science and nature, and it's an affordable way to spend an afternoon outdoors while discovering what life was like millions of years ago in your own backyard.
