story of
Shannon and Jakob

A Discover N Learn Family Escape Center is the vision of Shannon Miller, a dedicated mother, survivor, and entrepreneur, launching this adventure with her son, Jakob. Shannon’s love for fossils and gemstones inspired a playful, educational space where families dig, discover, and connect. Despite health and financial hurdles, she built a legacy, offering stability for Jakob and joy for the community. Jakob, who faced employment challenges, now co-leads the business. Petal & Stone is their generational project: a hands-on escape where kids, collectors, and curious minds uncover rocks, minerals, and hidden treasures. Together, they’ve stocked the shop with fossils, gems, and fun tools to spark creativity. Ready to rock? Spend a day digging, host a party in our rental rooms, or simply explore nature’s surprises. Every visit blends learning with laughter—because discovery should be as fun as it is fascinating!
