Museum of the Rockies

Great museum. The dinosaurs, which really are the reason folks come, are very well displayed. The information provided is very informative and a terrific way to learn. Their is information geared towards children, but most of it is towards adults. Which is great! They also surprisingly have one of the best museum gift shops I’ve ever seen. I took the bus from Big Sky and then walked from the stop to here, a few signs and a little bit more friendly towards foot traffic would be nice, but the museum itself is wonderful.

One of the greatest museums I have ever been to. I had thought it was a geology museum, but it is so much more. The museum covers geology, dinosaurs, transportation, the Romans and the native Americans. The gift store is not great, but the rest is very impressive. The dinosaurs section is one of the best I have ever seen, even when compared to larger museums like the Smithsonian.

Very high quality museum affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. The dinosaur exhibits are literally world class, with the largest collection in the United States. This museum houses the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex skull ever found! Another scientific focus of the museum is the natural and cultural history of the Rocky Mountains, with collections going back 500 million years. The Living History Farm, a frontier homestead with live actor protrails of the 1800's life is next to the museum in the warmer months and is very interesting. The Taylor Planetarium, located in the museum, is a great place to sit down and enjoy a variety of shows in the 104 seat, 40 ft. doomed theater.

Worth a visit if you have guests in from out of town. An impressive array of dinosaur skeletons. We saw a film here about MC Escher that was light on facts and heavy on visuals - I would have been happy to skip it. But still, a cool spot for tourists.

Really fun educational place for adults and kids. They have a little bit of everything for everybody. My husband and I went around Christmas and they had alot of great shows on the stars and planets plus how we got alot of our Christmas traditions. Tons of awesome Dinosaur fossils who doesn't love that. You could spend hours looking at all the neat stuff. It was great cant wait to go back.
