The Mammoth Site of Hot Springs
This is a prehistoric marvel and an essential destination for anyone fascinated by the ancient world. This unique paleontological site is home to the largest concentration of mammoth remains in the world, offering an extraordinary glimpse into the Ice Age.
Upon entering the Mammoth Site, visitors are transported back in time, walking over a preserved dig area that houses the fossils of over 60 mammoths, primarily North American Columbian and a few woolly mammoths. The site is enclosed within a massive building that serves both as a museum and a protective cover for the ongoing excavations.
The Mammoth Site goes beyond just mammoths. It also features a large collection of Ice Age fauna, including giant short-faced bears, camels, and other animals that once lived in this lush landscape. Interactive exhibits, educational programs, and a working paleontology lab make the Mammoth Site a dynamic place where visitors of all ages can engage with science in an immersive and exciting way.
