Well worth the trip. The tour was good, and afterwards one is pretty much left alone to walk around in certain areas and watch. Excellent museum displays after going through the main excavation site.

This was an interesting stop, which we did on the spur of the moment. Really enjoyed the facility and the restaurant next door was the best meal of our whole trip!

This place was incredible!! It's an active dig site with over 61 mammoths found there. The bones are visible in the dig site and the tour was well done. Completely worth the entrance fee of just $10.
