For $6 this dinosaur themed park and museum in Utah was well worth the visit.









"3,000 km to the south, the massive comet crashes into Earth. The light from the impact fades in silence. Then the shock waves arrive. Next comes the blast front. Finally a rain of molten rock starts to fall out of the darkening sky - this is the end of the age of the dinosaurs. The Comet struck the Gulf of Mexico with the force of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. And with the catastrophic climate changes that followed 65% of all life died out. It took millions of years for the earth to recover but when it did the giant dinosaurs were gone - never to return." - WWD

Wow. That's actually a very neat looking place. I especially like the models, pretty high quality.

I'd definitely pay $6 for that. Thanks for the photos!

Honestly for $ 6 it is a complete bargain to visit that themed museum with those beautiful recreations of dinosaurs.

This certainly looks like a really nice, good quality attraction for just $6!  I love those big skeleton mounts, especially the dynamic sabre-toothed cat.  And the models are fantastic, especially those fighting Stygimoloch.  It's a pity about the lack of feathers and the bunny hands on some of the smaller Theropods, but they're still much better than you'd find in a lot of places.  Any members of this forum in or visiting Utah should definitely check this place out.
