Hi Folks! For those of you who have been on our tours before or stayed with us at the our little motel we have a bit of news... During the summer of 2010 we finally sold the "The Raptors Nest Inn" and have moved on to the second phase of our business: "PaleoAdventures Dinosaur Field Station".

The Dinosaur Field Station will become our official base of operations during the summer of 2011.  It will have a small giftshop and museum area, a small accessible prep lab, and a small campground facility with some tent sites for our guests. The best part about this project is that we will finally be able to offer tours our fossil prep lab. Here our guests will be able to see original dinosaur bones being prepared by our skilled technicians and see fossils as they come in from the field every night.

 

The main 1,200 square ft. building is expected to be ready by June or July 2011. Guests are welcome to set up their tents on the property for a small camping fee. Eventually we hope to install several camping cabins for our guests to stay at.

 

We will update this page as things progress. For now, dinosaur diggers planning on scheduling a tour in 2011 should probably look to the various other lodging options around Belle Fourche. These include the "Americinn" (for guests looking for deluxe accomodations including a pool), the "Motel 6", "The Bunkhouse" (formerly the Raptors Nest), the "Ace Motel" and "Sunset Motel".

 

WE ARE LOCATED JUST 7 MILES WEST OF BELLE FOURCHE, SD OFF OF SD HIGHWAY 34, ON THE SCENIC ROUTE TO DEVILS TOWER.
