Penn Dixie Fossil Park & Nature Preserve

Penn Dixie — a global geological treasure — is the #1 fossil park in the U.S.

Science fans of all types are drawn to our 54-acre site in Hamburg, New York for unique learning opportunities in geology, astronomy, ecology, and ornithology. We offer day science programs, summer day camps, group tours, and special events through most of the year. Penn Dixie is TripAdvisor’s #1 thing to do in Blasdell, New York, too.

Visitors to Penn Dixie are encouraged to collect — and keep — fossils from a shallow ocean environment that existed 380 million years ago.
