Our Story
Built by Certified Teachers
40+ Years Working With Kids
Dino Dig Co.™ was founded in January 2026 by two brothers, both certified educators with more than 40 years of combined experience working with kids in local schools. They created the company to bring museum-style dinosaur excavation experiences to families throughout the St. Louis area.
After years spent as teachers, coaches, and educational leaders, they wanted to build something that combined movement, teamwork, storytelling, and hands-on discovery into an unforgettable experience for kids.
What started as a creative idea quickly became a museum-style dinosaur excavation adventure designed to make kids feel like real junior paleontologists.
Today, Dino Dig Co.™ brings immersive dinosaur excavation experiences to backyards, garages, park pavilions, schools, and special events throughout the St. Louis area.

Fun Fact
Closest thing to a dinosaur: Jurassic Jeff
Why? “After nearly three decades in education, my kids remind me that I officially qualify as a prehistoric creature. Fortunately, that also means I’ve learned a thing or two about keeping kids excited, engaged, and having fun.”
Favorite dinosaur: Principalosaurus
Together, they created Dino Dig Co.™ to combine education, imagination, and hands-on adventure into a one-of-a-kind experience kids will never forget.
