This was an incredible museum. As though I was apart of the 1970's TV show, "Land of the Lost" to live amongst dinosaurs. Even the lab Palentologist was at work (pix proves it). A beautiful designed museum. The natural backdrop, windows allow for natural light, informative labels, even the video prompts to make one question various theories (stuck in mud, bacteria, float bloat, or all aided in their disappearance). Had I lived here, I'd been inspired to go this route. As a natural explorer this region piqued my curious nature-I'm ready to dig. Free now from Armed Force Day to Labor Day for Veterans. Talk about getting lucky. An easy 2+ hours here both inside and outside.
The Natural History Museum of Utah is outstanding! The building itself is beautiful and modern, and the exhibits are incredibly well done. From the impressive dinosaur displays to the geology and Native American culture sections, everything is engaging and informative. The museum is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. The interactive exhibits make it enjoyable for both adults and kids, and the views of the Salt Lake Valley from the building are a nice bonus. We really enjoyed our visit and found it educational without feeling overwhelming. Highly recommend if you’re in the Salt Lake City area — it’s one of the best natural history museums we’ve been to!
We absolutely loved the museum! We took our three kids, 7, 5 and 1 and there were so many interactive exhibits. There was plenty for us to look at too from geodes, to fossils and replicas, ancient local Native American artifacts, etc. We visited the rotating exhibition, which was Bug World and had a lot of fun interacting with the larger than life replicas and games. I highly recommend visiting. We were able to have some of our admissions free with the rewards from the county library reading challenge. I hope it's an annual reward, even so, the museum is worth the fee!
I love that they have seasonal exhibits, so we never get bored of coming here. My son would love to come every week! He loves dinosaurs, and we could stay here all day. This time they have the Bugs exhibit and we all loved it. It es very interactive for kids and adults. We love every part of NHMU!
$25 per adult admission fee. Pretty large museum! Took us about 2-3 hours to see everything inside. The dinosaur exhibit was cool just form the sheer size of the skeletons. They have an outdoor terrace and overlook with a beautiful view of the city and mountains. When we went they had the Bug World exhibit open which had a bunch of fun kids games and giant walkthrough artwork featuring bugs. A lot of this museum was very interactive which we found fun even as adults. Definitely geared towards kids! Great way to spend a scorching hot day inside the AC while also getting out of the house.
