Description

Don't just walk the path of dinosaurs. Touch, feel, hear, and explore it at the new Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum. Evidence of the earth's entire geological history is visible within an 80-mile radius of Vernal. At its center is the 22,000-square foot Utah Field House Museum, which opened in June 2004.

The museum displays a wonderful full size skeleton of a diplodocus and contains other good archaeological and geological displays. Of the latter, a display of ultraviolet rocks is especially striking.

Vivid murals and tile floors help visitors connect geological time to real-time places in Vernal. Life-size replicas of dinosaurs sneak into the museum through windows looking out onto our new Dinosaur Gardens. Curious visitors, can do their own investigating with books, models, puzzles, and bones and chisels.
