Walk Among Giants at Moab Giants
Take the kids to this outdoor dinosaur park featuring life-sized replicas of the creatures that once roamed the Utah desert.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for at least 2 to 3 hours to explore the outdoor trail, 5D PaleoAquarium, and the educational Tracks Museum.
- 2Pack high-SPF sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats as the outdoor PaleoSafari trail has very limited shade.
- 3Wear closed-toe walking shoes or sturdy sandals to navigate the gravel paths comfortably.
- 4Arrive early in the morning to beat the desert heat and capture the best lighting for photos with the replicas.
- 5Utilize the free on-site parking lot located directly off Highway 191, just 10 miles north of downtown Moab.
- 6Check the theater schedule upon arrival to ensure you don't miss the 3D cinema experience included with your ticket.
