Burpee Museum Cryptid Curiosities Tour & Encounter at Burpee Museum of Natural History – Rockford, IL

They are out there!?!

A cryptid is a creature rumored to exist, whether through folklore, eyewitness accounts, or superstition—but without scientific proof. So, what evidence is out there? Some claims are so compelling that they fuel major beliefs and traditions. Are these creatures real?

From Bigfoot to the Loch Ness Monster, join our educators as we explore the science behind these fascinating mysteries. In this quick, special experience, you will explore the mystery and enhance your visit with something to remember! During this 45 min private session we bring out real taxidermy and bones and you will decide… real, fabrication, or pure fantasy?
