There's a lot of information and displays packed into a relatively small museum. Actual bones, fossils, models of different species, displays about paleontology, graphics and history of the impact of dinosaurs on the entertainment industry means there's something for everyone. Perfect for the whole family and worth the price of admission! Free parking in the lot. Also, a great gift shop (always a plus.) Highly recommended.

Today we stopped at Bluff Fort in Bluff, Utah.

Note: Admission is free and the folks there will give you the history. Walking through the cabins and exhibits gave us a glimpse into what daily life was like on the frontier. It's amazing to think about the perseverance it took to build a community in such a remote and unforgiving landscape. The fort is beautifully maintained, and the volunteers do a great job bringing its history to life. Before we left, we stopped by the gift shop and bakery, where we picked up some absolutely delicious treats. A little history and a little dessert made for the perfect start to our day!

This is a great place to stop off for a little free stretch of the legs or to spend all day listening to the stories of pioneers & settlers. Don't forget to stop at the parlor for some delicious ice cream & tasty treats! We had the lime swirl. It was SO good - especially on a hot June day. We hope to come back again soon.

There was minimal focus on the Settlers and the founding of the town. There was not much history telling daily life of the settlers before the uranium discovery. There was barely any mention of surrounding environment and the native Americans relationships to the settlers. Overall, it was a good way to spend an hour to an hour and a half. Admission price was $10 for adult and $8 for Senor. Free parking in front of the museum.

Bottom Line: A great local museum explaining how Moab came to be the tourist destination it is…read moretoday. Aside from modern day Moab being a big tourist destination and jumping off point for adventures in places like Arches NP and Canyonlands NP I didn't know much about its origins so I was excited to visit the Moab Museum. The museum is one large room and while you can view the exhibits in any order I found it was best to start at the very beginning and work my way clockwise. The museum starts with the indigenous people who lived in modern day Moab and ends with Moab being central to two national parks and a recreation hub. Missionaries, fur trappers, cowboys, miners, adventurists and dinosaurs were all covered in between. My favorite exhibit was about William Grandstaff. The exhibit called "Tracing the Story of William Grandstaff" traces his roots from likely being enslaved in Virginia to becoming a Civil War era soldier, frontiersmen, pioneer, cowboy, miner and saloon manager in Utah and Colorado. I love when museums leave me wanting to know more and William Grandstaff is definitely someone who'd I'd like to learn more about. I'd also like to hike the trail named in his honor - the Grandstaff Trail in Grandstaff Canyon. One of the best features of the museum were historical pictures of the Moab area that you could scroll through on a tablet. The photos really helped me understand the history of Moab. Admission was $10 for an adult and I felt it was well worth it. The museum has a good bit of reading, some artifacts and a few interactive exhibits sprinkled in so some kids might be a little bored but I really enjoyed it. Kids 7 and under visit for free and students are $8.

We watched the two movies which were fun, though the T-Rex one was a bit violent for young kids...and did the aquarium - that freaked my 4 year old out at the end, but he was okay and it was fun. The only letdown was the actually museum, it was kinda lame. Should have made it more kid friendly and fun. It was a bit boring. Need skeleton models and more excitement. The cafe and gift shop were great! Good food, good merchandise.
