I took my fourth grade class here last year and they were amazing to work with!! We had an absolute blast. I’m hoping to bring this year’s class as well.

We stopped off at The Museum of the Rockies during our epic road trip across Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Montana. While I'd been many times while a student at MSU, my wife had never been and I really wanted to share the place with her. That said, my memories of the museum were a bit over-glorified. At $18 USD a pop, we were both pretty underwhelmed. Especially compared with institutions we've visited together like the Royal BC Museum in Victoria where $5 CAD gets you a whole lot more. I'm not suggesting that you not visit this museum. For Montana, you won't do much better. Just don't expect too much, yeah?

You must stop and visit this museum. Every bit of it is educational and well prepared.

The museum itself it amazing. the Native American section is very comprehensive, but the rap music blaring at the end has nothing to do with the exhibit and really takes away from the experience.

What museums would you recommend to see in the West that are focused on dinosaurs

John Mareing | Jul 30, 2022
Theresa Boslaugh | Jul 30, 2022

This one is awesome!!! My grandson is totally infatuated with dinosaurs. They had bones from a herd of triceratops that blew me away. There were rooms and rooms of dinosaurs skeletons. There is also a museum at the university in Rapid City, SD that has archeologists that were awesome to talk to and although we have not been, we keep getting told about one in Wyoming that does camps for those interested in dinosaurs.

About how long do you recommend spending at the museum?

I would give yourself 2 or 3 hours to have time to catch a planetarium show, and the live actor frontier homestead exhibit along with the awesome dinosaur exibits and the current history of the guitar exhibit. The planetarium is a very cool contrast to the other things and does not cost extra.
