MAPS has sponsored the National Fossil Exposition since 1979. The Expo will be held in the fall starting in 2021 (due to the coronavirus pandemic) with fossil enthusiasts converging from all across the nation as well as from Canada and a few overseas countries. Starting in 2021, there will be an admission charge to help cover the cost of the show venue: Age 19 and over: $2; Age 12-18: $1; Kids under 12 get in free.
The MAPS Fossil Expo is the largest show in the world that exhibits fossils exclusively. You'll find an enormous variety and number of fossils ranging from tiny insects to giant dinosaur bones. The great range of items at the show makes fossils accessible to all interests and budgets.

In addition to the Fossil Show itself, the Expo also presents a Friday evening lecture by a trained scientist speaking about the fossil theme of the year. And don't miss the fossil auction where fast-paced bidding brings great buys and all the proceeds go to the society's work of furthering paleontology education.
If you enjoy fossils or simply want to learn more about the ancient life of planet earth, come to the Expo. Remember, admission is free to everyone!
