Buy a membership! There is so much to see and do that you'll definitely want to come back. The kids (and adults) could spend several hours exploring the interactive exhibits and not get to it all.

Makayla Cochran

I loved looking at all the dinosaur bones and taxidermy animals. Lots of things to look at, they definitely have something for everyone. A beautiful collection of native American clothing and pots

Devan Carter

Awesome architecture , great exhibits , would be great for an event ! Plus the view of the valley is spectacular. Take the kids here in parts, it's too much to explore in just one day.

Nichole Baumgardner

So much to look at here! Some hands on activities for kids. Also, don't miss the gorgeous view in front of the museum !

Really cool museum with great exhibits on dinosaurs and the cultures of the native peoples whose land we are on. Plan at least 3 hours. Neat building with great views .

Stephen Sheppard

Amazing collection of dinosaur and other vertebrate skeletons well presented. Also an unbeatable collection of native American artifacts and information about pre-Columbian peoples of the region.

Beautiful space, well designed, incredible dinosaur exhibit , great food, cool geodes in gift shop ... great for any age 9 to 99.

Stunning modern museum blended in the Wasatch mountain range. It reminds me of the Museum of Civilization in Quebec.

The architecture , exhibits , and people? I especially like the wide variety of exhibits that each have a place to reflect, listen, read or get involved!
