About Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology
Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology holds the Hall of Life, where visitors explore planetary history from trilobites to dinosaurs, and the Hall of Footprints, which displays one of the world's most scientifically significant collections of fossil trackways from extinct camels and elephants. Located on the Webb Schools campus in Claremont, the museum is the only nationally accredited museum in the USA housed on a high school campus. Webb students participate in a unique research program, collecting fossils on field trips and publishing their findings with museum staff—a secondary school opportunity found nowhere else. General admission is $12, with reduced rates for youth, students, and seniors. Visitors presenting a state-issued EBT, SNAP, or WIC card along with photo ID receive free admission for the cardholder and three family members. The museum publishes hours on its website and requires valid photo identification at the entrance. Information appears at alfmuseum.org.
