Museum of the Rockies

The Museum of the Rockies, on the Montana State University campus, is home to one of the largest dinosaur fossil collections in the country, including a T. rex and a full Triceratops skull. It's routinely ranked among the best natural history museums in the West.

Beyond dinosaurs, the museum's Taylor Planetarium and the seasonal Living History Farm make it an easy half-day stop that works for kids and adults alike, and a solid option for a rainy or cold-weather afternoon.
