If you've ever driven past Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT, then you've probably seen the building with the huge dinosaur on the front. Most people refer to this as the "Dinosaur Museum". It is actually called the Museum of Ancient Life, as it covers more than just dinosaurs, and is one of the largest museums of its kind in the country. My kids are still fairly young but the great thing about this museum is that it caters to all ages. We saw lots of people with small children like mine, but there were also scout troops, teenagers, adults, and everyone in between.
My kids were so excited about all the different exhibits. All of them have some kind of hands-on activity, ranging from watching a real dinosaur bone being excavated, to caves to crawl in, to digging for their own "dinosaur bones". There was so much to see and do that it was almost a sensory overload for them. They ran around and looked at each exhibit for a moment before dashing off to the next one.
