Tot Time is happening this month at Dickson Mounds!  Tots and their adults will have fun exploring, discovering, and learning about a different topic on the first Thursday of every month. 

Join us as we learn about all about Illinois mammals! Through scat, tracks, pelts and animal bones, participants will learn about common Illinois wild mammals. Tots and caretakers, expect to enjoy hands-on activities and crafts to take home!

The program will begin at 9:30 a.m. and is free.  Registration is not required.  However, groups of 8 or more are encouraged to call the Museum at 309-547-3721 prior to the program date to ensure the availability of supplies.  Participants are welcome to enjoy the Museum exhibits after the program.
