We did the Dig for a Day at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and were blown away! I was worried my 8 and 10 yo would get bored but they were in heaven the whole time. It was so great to geek out as a family. Each family in attendance was taken to their own dig site with their own guide making it a very personal experience. The guides were college interns that were the most polite, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable people you could have asked for. We dug for hours, then went back to the museum for a detailed, private tour, that included behind the scenes. Worth every penny.

A visit to the Museum is both educational and inspiring. There are many exhibits with excellent descriptions. They depict the Wyoming area as a function of time beginning with the dinosaurs. And BTW there is a complete skeleton of a large dinosaur standing guard over the Museum. The exhibits are interactive and hence provide the most in self=education, There an a knowledgeable attendant to answer questions. The museum is located as an adjunct to the S.H. Knight Department of Geology building on the University of Wyoming campus.

The museum features a 40 foot mural depicting the landscape, flora, and fauna of the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming as we understand it was about 150 million years ago. Stop by to enjoy our displays and learn more about the geological and paleontological history of our area.

This is a bigger and better collection of fossils which you may be walking on if you visit the back roads. There are several dinosaur skulls from a nearby quarry and many fossils from the foothills and mountains. You will learn about the inland sea which you may visit. It is hard to believe there are ripples frozen in time along with coastal fossils and dinosaur tracks. The tracks are rare. They are from the middle Jurassic Period. Plate Tectonics played a part in the history of these track because you may see more if you visit the Island of Skye at low tide.
