The actual tar pits outside and the working digs are the best part, so make sure to explore the grounds outside if you go, you can watch the asphalt bubbling up and see exposed bones! more on TripAdvisor

All of the exhibits are dated 1977 and some of the info is not up to modern ecological standards, but it's not expensive and if you're into fossils you will enjoy it. more on TripAdvisor
