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.

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.

Definitely worth the minimal admission price! The staff were super friendly too. We only had about an hour to spend here because of time constraints but we definitely could have been here longer. They seemed to be working on renovations so I can only imagine it'll get even better after that! Also a cool fact is most of the fossils they have in their collection were found locally. In addition to the dinosaur portion they have another portion with American history which was also very interesting!

They had assorted cars dating back to the Model T all the way up to the modern day muscle cars. The museum is nestled in a gorgeous Unaweep canyon. The drive through the canyon is as enjoyable as the car museum. Beautiful bluffs and rock formations on all sides of your trip through the canyon. The museum area also offers a small cafe that has food items for sale, so you can get a quick lunch. Such a wonderful and beautiful place.

From the road, you see various odd metal sculptures just begging you to come take a look. We pulled off the road and got out, wandering around cluelessly. There is not really any signage that explains what we were looking at. After a few minutes, a couple of very friendly dogs came running up the road to us, excited for the company. Then, a couple in an old pick up truck drove up the road and stopped to chat with us. Turns out it is the owner of the property and he was excited for us to come check out the museum. The museum is really just the couple's living room-stuffed full of antiques and wood carvings. He had a story to tell with each thing and most of them also had a dad joke punch line. Vaughn's a funny fella and is thrilled for the audience. I asked him about the UFO landing site and he cheerfully said that it was a made up story to get people to stop by. It worked! This is the epitome of roadside attraction and I highly recommend that anyone who's driving through Clawson make it a point to stop and visit.
