Visit the Moab Giants Tracks Museum
Walk among life-sized dinosaur replicas and explore state-of-the-art exhibits dedicated to the region's prehistoric inhabitants.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for at least two to three hours to fully experience the outdoor trail, 5D PaleoAquarium, and the indoor tracking museum.
- 2Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat, as the outdoor dinosaur trail offers very little shade.
- 3Drive approximately 10 miles north of downtown Moab to the junction of US-191 and UT-313 where parking is free and abundant.
- 4Purchase your tickets online in advance during peak spring and fall weekends to skip the entrance line.
- 5Visit the PaleoCamp area mid-way through the trail for a hands-on sand pit experience that is ideal for children.
- 6Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals with straps, as the trail surface is a mix of paved paths and soft desert sand.
