With quarantine orders in place we were looking for something to do to break up the everyday monotony. The Montour Fossil Pit at the preserve won out. There were five to six other families but the place was so massive there was space for everyone to be a good distance away from each other to more then adhere to social distancing standards. We spent about two hours here just digging and enjoying the outdoors and discovering some ancient fossils. My kids enjoyed it even if we did arrive unprepared. A geologist mining kit would have been great but we made do with breaking open rocks on rocks and digging with other rocks as shovels to make it work. Problem solving skills in action by the little ones. We walked away with some cool finds. Across the street is a lake with a Nicky cleared path walk. Posts with information about the planets in our solar system, fishing spots, and nature. A great educational trip without the kids thinking of it as such.
