Event Series (See All)

Explore the Geology Museum and take a peek into Wisconsin’s deep history! On your visit you can touch rocks from a time when there were volcanoes in Wisconsin; see corals, jellyfish and other sea creatures that used to live and swim where we now walk; and stand under the tusks of a mastodon while imagining yourself in the Ice Age.

Also on display at the Geology Museum are rocks and minerals that glow, a model of a Wisconsin cave, dinosaurs and meteorites. Our mineral, rock and fossil collections have the power to educate and inspire visitors of all ages.

Come see for yourself!

The Geology Museum is open during the following hours:

  • Monday-Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm
  • Saturday, 9am – 1pm

Drop in during the WiSciFest Campus Open House on Saturday, October 25th from 9am – 1pm!
