Petal & Stone is a family-friendly discovery center where children and adults alike can dig for fossils, rocks, minerals, and small treasures that inspire learning and creative fun every day.
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.
