Dig into Geodes...Sept. 20

Crack your own geode and see the magic inside! Join us at the Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology (IMMG), next to the Old Pen, for a fun time geode-cracking, an easy 40-minute geology-hike on the nearby hillside and a Museum visit. If you have never seen a geode cracked open with a giant pipe-cutter, you are in for an exciting moment. What Mother Nature has created is truly amazing. Geode-cracking takes place in 6 half-hour sessions from noon-3pm outside under shade canopies on the grass of the historic Women’s Ward. Please register at your preferred time. Take a hike before or after your session. Hikes scheduled between 12:30 and 2pm. Delicious hot dogs will be on sale by Updog Street Food beginning at 11:30 am. Admission: FREE Admission - IMMG Members & their children Non-member adults of the IMMG—$10; Children —$5 Every registered child receives one small geode at no cost All adults (members too) who wish to crack a geode, and children who would like a second geode, will need to pay the recommended donation at the site. We have an exciting selection of geodes in all sizes, with varying purchase prices. Contact [email protected] if you have questions.
