Explore the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site
Walk over an exceptionally preserved Jurassic lake shoreline featuring thousands of fossilized dinosaur tracks.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for approximately 90 minutes to two minutes to fully explore the indoor boardwalks and the outdoor preparation lab.
- 2Bring a camera with a good flash or low-light setting, as the indoor trackway lighting is dimmed to highlight fossil textures.
- 3Utilize the free on-site parking lot located directly in front of the museum off Riverside Drive.
- 4Check the daily schedule for guided tours, which are included with admission and provide deep context on the 'Johnson Farm' discovery.
- 5Pack a light jacket even in summer, as the museum interior is kept strictly climate-controlled to preserve the sandstone fossils.
- 6Combine this visit with a stop at the nearby Red Hills Desert Garden for a full morning of geology and botany.
