Fossil Festivities

Enjoy Fossil viewing and kid-friendly fossil activities.

In honor of National Fossil Day, we invite you to join us for paleontological activities on how fossils are formed, build a megalodon and more!

Real fossils on display from our archives!

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Organized groups such as scouts and homeschool must submit a separate program request.

From Fremont, drive north on I-680 and exit at Calaveras Road (near the town of Sunol.)

Turn right at the exit onto Calaveras Road and proceed about four miles to a left turn onto Geary Road, which leads directly into the park.

(If you find yourself driving uphill on a narrow winding road you’ve missed the Geary Road turnoff.)

To reach the visitor center take the first left after the park entrance.

From the Oakland-Berkeley area, drive east on I-580 to the junction with I-680. Take I-680 south and exit at Calaveras Road/Highway 84 just south of the Sunol exit.

At the bottom of the exit turn left onto Calaveras Road and proceed as noted above.
