About the Museum of the Rockies:
Maintained by Montana State University (and its star paleontologist, Jack Horner), the Museum of the Rockies is one of the premier dinosaur attractions in the western U.S. This museum's Siebel Dinosaur Complex consists of four galleries: the Hall of Giants, which features plus-sized sauropods and tyrannosaurs; the Mesozoic Media Center, with its wide-screen TV displays and interactive stations; the Hallway of Growth and Behavior, with a growth series devoted to Maiasaura; and last but not least, the Hall of Horns and Teeth, which boasts the largest T. Rex skull in the world.
When you’re done with the dinosaurs, the Museum of the Rockies has plenty of other attractions, including galleries devoted to the indigenous peoples of the western U.S., a medium-sized planetarium, and fun exhibits for kids like "CSI: Crime Scene Insects," "Tree Houses" (about creatures that live in trees), and "Treasure!", devoted to the history of treasure hunting (be sure to check the museum's website for the exact schedules of these, and other, exhibits).
