This was a pleasant surprise. The number of fossils and exhibits in one room was absolutely insane. We did not go to the dig site due to timing, but I definitely recommend Wyoming dinosaur center.

This is a fantastic dinosaur museum with a wide array of specimens! I highly recommend the dig for a day option. We were able to dig at an actual dig site, tour the museum, and see the bone lab. Our guide was Jodi (SP?) and she was truly Amazing. Jodi is passionate about dinosaurs and is extremely intelligent. She also answered all of our questions and helped my young child find fossils. We hope to come back soon!

I was really impressed with this dinosaur museum! So well curated. They have real bones from around the world, and packed into this building, they have so many different dinosaurs! It's amazing. We also did the dig and had a blast. Found a bone, which was awesome. It rained, so we got to come back to the lab and clean up some bones, which was cool too. It was a great experience.

This dinosaur museum is the biggest and best I've seen. We were here 2 yrs ago but because of covid they were closed. We took this trip again to see what we didn't see last time. Displays were fantastic with dinosaurs I hadn't seen before. Pay the few extra bucks to tour the dig site about 10 minutes away in the hills.

2 adults 2 kids 34 dollars. Now going on the dig is more, but rather than rely on my memory for that cost, just consult their website.

How much to go on a dig

For all day it is $150 for adults and $100 for kiddos. They will provide transportation to the dig site and lunch. But you will have to have a reservation. But it is only offered until the 31st of August I believe due to the weather changing.They also offer a tour of the dig sites. $25 per person. It takes about an hour. You are in a van with about 10 other people.

I grew up in Worland and just heard of this place 6/17/2020 and the Red Gulch track site. So when did the Center open up?

If you plan on going to the dig site, how much time should you allow? Are there certain hours for the dig? Planning to detour here, so I want to be prepared.

Tyler J. Adams | Jul 18, 2018

You need to call so you can get into a group. Also to select when and how long. I think they only go out on certain days of the week.
