There’s Fun For Kids of All Ages
The new long-awaited Dinosphere® is now open with five different sections to explore at The Children’s Museum. This is the result of an international dinosaur dig in Wyoming called Mission Jurassic™ and brought home the fossil remains of some of the biggest beasts to ever roam the land. See the display of massive footprints that are as large as an average human is tall. Continue undersea to meet a dolphin-like creature with eye sockets the size of dinner plates! Talk to real scientists who are doing real science on our real fossils in the R.B. Annis Mission Jurassic Paleo Lab and the Polly H. Hix Paleo Prep Lab!
The largest children’s museum in the world, and named one of the best by Child magazine, offers interactive exhibits exploring art, science, history and culture, the Dinosphere, and planetarium. More than one million visitors each year enjoy this five-level playground with a 43-foot brightly colored Dale Chihuly ‘Fireworks of Glass’ sculpture hanging in the middle and a fully rideable antique carousel on the top floor.
