  • @PANCAKEPVT no.. it wasnt tht good and i went there for a field trip in FOURTH GRADE. it sucked XP nah offense Ashfalls!

  • nice video, I really enjoyed it

  • So... would this be a good Middle School field trip?

  • Each time we visit Ashfall, there's something new to discover and all members of our family, from grandparents to grandkids, love to spend a day there. Thanks to Dr. Voorhies and the staff.

  • Nebraska has some amazing features. This is one. Dr. Voorhies is also a state treasure. My students will soon take a field trip here. Can't wait!

  • An excellent presentation. A snapshot of an entire ecosystem preserved, and beacuse of the nature of the ash, accurately dated. These rhinos, horses, and deer are all vicitms of the Yellowstone hot spot's eruption 12 mya. Are any cast of these animals commerically available?
