Dinosaur fossils were discovered in the Morrison Formation in 1877. Although the dig areas ( at Dinosaur Ridge ) are not extensively worked now the museum crew is still digging, chipping away and making new discoveries like the tiny footprints of baby Stegosauruses. The museum has casts of fossils, a few real fossils and live reptiles. It’s a small museum but the displays are well done and the guides are very knowledgeable.
The museum itself is accessible but the parking lot, which includes a driveway that accesses the second floor, is covered with large, loose gravel which is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to push through.
The parking lot is small. Large RVs may not have room to park or turn around. Museum
