Mountain America Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point

A Must-Visit for Families – We Love This Museum! We have an annual pass to the Museum of Ancient Life and visit at least once a month—it never gets old! The exhibits are incredibly informational and engaging, perfect for both kids and adults who are curious about the ancient world. One of our favorite parts is the kids’ water table attraction—it keeps the little ones entertained for hours while still being educational. The museum is well-maintained, thoughtfully laid out, and always a fun experience. Highly recommend it for families, science lovers, and anyone looking for a fun, enriching day out!

What dioramas and displays they had were well done, I was just expecting more museum. I'd heard so much about it for so long and it was way smaller than I was expecting. again, what was there was really good! There just wasn't a much as I had thought.

They have a lot of really good displays. The star room is cool. It costs extra to go into the play area so keep that in mind.

(1st time coming here) We came here for a birthday party and I will admit we all had. Such a Great time!!! So much to do and as a parent I enjoyed the jungle gym as well hahaha loved the museum and extra activities were able to do. We got to excavate shark teeth and choose and break our own Geodes(for an additional police) ❤️ it was such a fun experience! I highly recommend bringing the family here for a fun day.

If you, the kids, or grandkids are into dinosaurs, this is the place to come. The exhibits were pretty amazing and quite thorough. Lots of hands on activities for the kids with various educational stations. Well done, our grandkids loved it.

So dang fun! Hadn’t been in years and didn’t know about the soft play area! AMAZING! My kids were asking when we could go again as soon as we left!

Absolute blast for kids and adults! They added a new 5-story indoor playground in the same building. Can easily spend a half day here and still not see everything.

Excellent! The dioramas are top notch, many MANY fossils (lots from local Utah sites). Fun kids areas, and as a bonus for us, wheelchair accessibility is good.
