The ICE AGE returns to Florida when the Tampa Bay Fossil Club presents the 23rd annual FossilFest in the Charles M. Davis Special Events Center. This event will take you back in time to an era when mammoths, saber-toothed cats, giant wolves, sharks the size of school buses, and cavemen ruled Florida's peninsula. FossilFest features educational activities for both children and adults geared towards teaching the public about Florida's wonderful prehistoric past. Vendors will be on hand to sell and trade fossils found here in Florida and from all over the world. Artifacts from Florida's prehistoric people, gems, minerals, and shells will be displayed.

Event hours are Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and children ages 12 and younger are admitted free. CASH ONLY is accepted for admission. Parking is $5 per car or $10 per RV or bus. Visitors should enter the Fairgrounds via the M.L.K., Jr. Blvd. entrance.
