Itinerary tips

  • 1Plan for at least 60 to 90 minutes to thoroughly browse the dinosaur fossils and uranium mining exhibits.
  • 2Walk to the museum from downtown hotels to avoid the crowded public parking lots along Main Street.
  • 3Check the museum's seasonal calendar for evening lecture series that offer deeper insight into local Ute history.
  • 4Purchase your tickets online in advance during the peak spring and fall months to ensure entry.
  • 5Bring a light sweater or jacket, as the indoor climate control can feel very cool compared to the desert heat outside.
  • 6Look for the 'Pop's' cabin replica outdoors to see an authentic example of a 19th-century pioneer dwelling.
