The Indiana Dinosaur Museum (IDM) is having a birthday party complete with cake.
Everyone is invited to attend the celebration on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. in the atrium of the Indiana Dinosaur Museum. Drinks and light appetizers will be served.
“What a good start and a great year,” stated Mark Tarner, founder of the IDM. “Without a doubt, this year was one of the fastest in my life.” Jeff Jarnecke, Executive Director of Visit South Bend Mishawaka, added, “While we knew of the Indiana Dinosaur Museum and the South Bend Chocolate Company experience would be a success, we are ecstatic with the impact … to our region. Tens of thousands of visitors have made their way to the campus!”
On Thursday, the IDM staff, Mark, and Jeff will announce their first-year attendance. Celebrate another achievement for the South Bend region and Indiana.
The Indiana Dinosaur Museum is located at 7102 Lincolnway West in South Bend. The museum is located next to The South Bend Chocolate Company on the Continental Divide Park.
