Thank you for the question, Gemma C! We are still in the master planning phases for our new facility. A building project of this scale and ambition requires a lot of intense planning. We hope to begin construction in the next few years. Studying dinosaurs requires lots of time, passion, and patience. It can take us years to uncover a single dinosaur skeleton (we've been digging up our Supersaurus for fifteen years!) But passion and patience eventually yield amazing things. You can see many of our amazing accomplishments in our current exhibits, programs, and scientific research. Our entire team is excited to bring our passion and vision of the prehistoric past to our new facility. If you would like more news about our museum, including updates on the new facility, I encourage you to follow us on our Facebook page - Just look for the Wyoming Dinosaur Center! Thank you for your interest!
