Archaeology Dig
Imagine you are an archaeologist at the Archaeology Dig! Sift and sort to find replicas of ancient artifacts buried beneath the sand, weigh and examine your findings, and analyze clues to discover what we have in common with people who lived three thousand years ago.
The Archaeology Dig is open Thursdays*, Saturdays, and Sundays until 4:15 pm, weather permitting.
If you reserve 3:00–4:00 pm tickets to Noah’s Ark at the Skirball, please plan to visit the Dig beforehand.
*Open Thursdays now through August 20, 2026.
