museum of western colorado: dinosaur journey museum

Didn't cost the earth to gain admission, my youngest boy loves dinosaurs - and was so excited when we realized where we were stopping. Fun for the whole family

This place is a dino lovers dream especially for kids who like to have a bit of interactive time with a few stations. The staff was nice and though I believe the museum is directed toward children I had a fun time all the same.

Fun place for families with kids. Cool dinosaur exibits. Not real expensive. There is a gift shop for souvineers. Then you can take a hike up the road on dinosaur hill. Fun for everyone.

The museum delights kids from 2-82. It is both informative and interactive. They even host birthday parties here. You kiddos can run through the museum dodging streams of water being "spit" by one of the dinosaurs, or dig in the sand pit for "fossils."

I loved all of the hands on displays, earthquake simulator, and all of the great facts. It was fun standing inside of the dinosaur heart.

If anyone has grandsons, they know that dinosaurs are always a big hit. This museum is big enough to entertain younger ones but with lots of hands on things and educational information for the older kids....including adults. It has an area for a picnic lunch and let's your kid's inner paleontologist to come out! I have watched my one grandson be totally terrified of the moving dinos become more at ease as he's returned. Now he always asks about going to the dinosaur museum when he visits. Only caution is one exhibit includes walnut shells so children with peanut allergies should avoid that area.

this was a great spot to seek out. If you have children theywould love to see the ancient dinosaur bones still in the mountainWe 4 adults enjoyed it

This is a smallish collection of dinosaur bones and various kid oriented displays. We had a good time, but have seen better.

I took 2 teenage boys here and we actually had a pretty good time. There are a lot of displays there that were found right in the area we were staying. There were several interactive activities. Overall we enjoyed the visit.

A great place for kids of all ages! Easy access and ample parking. No reason not to go if you are out here.

Good experience overall. Had alot of fun with my 4 year old. Lots of information and artifacts with fun facts on display. Definitely be back again.

The museum is active on-going experience. It has real fossils and some replications. Due to its location near active on-going "digs" visitors can sign up for a half-day to a 5 day week experience of working with paleontologists on site and perhaps actually find a fossil. It is fun and takes as long as you wish to view. The show presentations are worth seeing. Definitely for all ages.Actual location is in Fruita, Colorado.

Lots of dinosaurs to see, exhibits that move, an earthquake machine, animated dinosaurs that spit and roar. Educational short movie my 5 year old granddaughter really liked.

The kids will love this place It has great visual effects. It can even please the more savy visitor with more intense information

When my son was 3 - 8 we would come once a year. It was one of his favorite places. It is fairly small so now that he is 9 and has been there several times he doesn't get excited about it much as they don't change much around. But I recommed for sure for the smaller children. They also have a small gift shop with great items as well.
