Learn about dinosaurs with the Children's Museum of Richmond!

Prehistoric play brings to life the wild world of DINOSAURS. Students will learn that although dinosaurs lived long ago and are extinct, there is still much to explore as they identify key features of some favorite dinosaurs. Students will step into the shoes of paleontologists through engaging activities such as “fossil” digs and themed play! Students will leave the program with their very own clay “fossil.” Please register children only. Registration begins June 17.

About the Library

Ettrick-Matoaca Library serves the communities of Matoaca and Ettrick. It is situated on the outskirts of Virginia State University's Randolph Farm just down the road from the bustling Village of Ettrick. In 2013, the Ettrick-Matoaca Library was completely renovated as a better, brighter, more functional public space. It has one of several reading gardens located at libraries. Thanks to a gift from a local organization, the Ettrick-Matoaca Library is home to a makerspace that includes a 3-D printer, two sewing machines and raised garden beds for a community garden.
