So our first day "on our own" so to speak took us to this fabulous museum. I knew that Utah had quite a bit of "dinosaur" fun because there have been fossils found in the area. We were going to head to the museum at the University of Utah but on my cousin's recommendation we chose THIS PLACE instead and we're sure glad we did!!We spent ALL DAY there--a total plus since we were staying with friends and didn't want to become unwelcome guests, but I was skeptical that just a museum would hold our attention for that long--this place really did keep us interested all day. Here are some highlights:
This was the "create your own dinosaur" with different head, tail and leg options for your dinosaur and this was what we came up with.
This was one of my favorite things: the SAND and WATER table! My kids could have spent ALL day here playing in the sand, building dams and mountains and hiding plastic dinosaurs and then finding them.
This was a cute photo-op.We were lucky to be there when the museum was celebrating it's 10th anniversary so we got our faces painted:
There were so many other cool things too, a fossil dig where the kids pretended to be archeologists, a scale to see what kind of dinosaur you were closest to weighing like, plus all the skeletons of the dinosaurs. This place was a hit!
