We got the passes that gave us entry to all the museums. We made it to Farm Country, the Butterfly Biosphere, Museum of Ancient Life, and Museum of Natural Curiosity. Our kids, ages, 14, 12, 9, 9, 9, all said it was the best day of our family vacation, which is high praise since we also did Lagoon and Hogle Zoo in the last few days! Each museum was just the right size to enjoy without being overwhelmed. The Museum of Ancient Life (Dinosaur Museum) had world class exhibits. My 14 year old was engaged the entire time. Definitely worth the $!

Our first tour here was in 2016 and we returned for an update recently. Holdman Studios now offer additional experiences with glass blowing and stained glass in addition to the tour. Our tour was $30 for up to 10 people and lasted about 30 minutes or so. We continue to be amazed by the talented designers and crafts people working there. Next time we might do one of the experiences.

This is a truly amazing kids museum. So many ways to stimulate their minds from science and music to role play and physical activity. Staff was friendly and the museum was well kept. I'll definitely come back.

Roam among the dinosaurs, explore a Carboniferous Forest, and dive deep into a Cretaceous Ocean at the Museum of Ancient Life. Come visit one of the world’s largest displays of mounted dinosaurs with 60 complete dinosaur skeletons in our galleries, along with more than 50 hands-on exhibits. This is the destination to enjoy learning about our pre-historic animals, playing with toy dinosaurs in the Erosion Table, and digging for fossils in the quarry dig.

Wow! You are greeted by a large dinosaur, that had a tough life. I was greeted with warmth and a genuine hello. They gave me a map. Definitely use the map or you can get turned around pretty easily. Wear comfortable shoes; I spent 3 ½ hours and could have stayed longer. So much great information and new findings. There are some fun hands on areas for kids to have fun, but also learn. Would I go back - YES!

The biosphere itself is one of the most peaceful places you'll ever find yourself. It's humid for the butterflies, so between the warmth and nature you'll find yourself relax very quickly. We're lucky to enjoy a place like this in Utah. From what I understand it's the largest indoor butterfly habitat in North America. The museum portion of the facility is also a lot of fun, great for kids, and offers a variety of engaging educational experiences.
