Dinosaurs once ruled this land. This is the only place in the world where you can view and even touch over 1,500 bones partially exposed in their final resting place and left on display to awe modern day visitors at the newly reopened Quarry and Visitor Center in Dinosaur National Monument. Known as the most productive Jurassic Period dinosaur quarry in the world, many of the finest museums in the country display dinosaur skeletons excavated from here. We think that’s pretty cool!

In nearby Vernal, kids can spot large dinosaurs all over town. From the “Pink” dinosaur on the east end to the “T-Rex” who dresses up for each holiday on the west end. You will feel like you have stepped into a real life Jurassic Park. In fact, the Utah State Fieldhouse Museum is surrounded by them. Make sure to plan a stop at the Dinosaur Gardens.

Dinosaurs are the stars of the show, but not all there is to do and see in the area. Petroglyphs are the rock stars of Dinosaurland, Cowboys and Western Heritage are the corner stones, and Hiking, Biking, Rafting, Fishing, and ATVing are the future of Dinosaurland! Contact Info
