Dinosaur Journey

Dinosaur Journey Museum, Grand Junction

 
Dinosaur Journey, part of the Museum of Western Colorado, is more than just a bunch of bones in a small box. In addition to the requisite dinosaur replicas, this small, square museum on Colorado's western front has a variety of hands-on exhibits and robotic dinosaurs. Young children will enjoy playing in the sand at the simulated dig site. And you may have a hard time pulling older children away from the earthquake maker. But the real reason to make the trek to this dinosaur museum are the fossils that are yet to be found. Take part... Read More in a paleontologist-led dinosaur dig in nearby Rabbit Valley and whether you dig for day or a week get a closer look at dinosaur bones.
