Reviews
"We had a lovely time! The employees were very helpful and were happy to answer our questions. They were extremely knowledgeable about the dinosaurs, and my husband and I both learned several new facts about dinos. Our kids had a fabulous time playing in the interactive kids area. It was very family friendly, and we liked that there was plenty to see, but it was also small enough that we didn't get burnt out. Highly recommend!"
"I was honestly so impressed with this museum given its in a smallish mountain town. They had way more actual fossils than I ever expected! The info around the exhibits is sometimes funny worded but good info. They had a ton of really cool fossil replica in there. Staff was friendly and helpful. The gift store is huge and has tons of options for kids and adults, including my fave thing ever frame butterflies and other critter. They have amazing stone chess sets available as well. The building appeared to be clean, well lit, and well maintained. They had their 3d printer crafting things but i would not be so trusting with the location of the printer with some of the people coming into the museum. They also have one of those room where you can see the guys working on new fossils. I really loved the frogs skeleton cause i have those frogs on Ark Survival Evolved. Overall i had a great time and this place is a really cool experience!"
"This is a fun mini museum with a good sized dino gift shop. There were enough skulls and skeletons to pique my interest. We went on an event day, where there were a few animals from the zoo. Good place for photos!"
"Our guide Danny was very knowledgeable with a great personality to match. The facility is state of the art museum and research center. Quality gift shop, reasonable prices. Gift shop staff very friendly. Great couple of hours. Bring the children."
"Very cute. Small, but had great displays and honestly you HAVE to make sure you do a guided tour. It is a hole hour, but they keep it fun, interesting and informative. As a biologist, I really appreciate that they are not just a money grabbing private venture. They do actual science there and collaborate with museums and other scientific research institutions."
