Our Story
What began as three separate journeys eventually crossed paths through a shared passion for dinosaurs, science, and discovery. Each founder came from a different background, carrying unique experiences, skills, and dreams, yet all were driven by the same sense of wonder about the ancient world. Together, that shared curiosity became the foundation for the Missouri Dinosaur and Paleontology Center, a place built to inspire exploration, learning, and a lifelong love of paleontology for future generations.
