    The staff here was super kind and super knowledgeable. I have always been a huge dinosaur nerd, so…read morewhen I was visiting the area for my nursing school clinicals I had to stop in! The price is reasonable and the many displays were a treat! You could even purchase a geode for them to cut open then and there for you as well as some minor fossils and minerals in the gift shop! Will definitely visit again if I am ever in the area!

    Rawr! Did I scare you? If so, beware of this dinosaur park in Ogden. While the dinos on display are…read morenot alive, they are life-like and some of the them move and make noise. Possibly a little too scary for some audiences-usually those that are shorter than a yardstick. The indoor area of the museum is very well done with lots of displays and exhibits that educate guests on the different pre-historic beings. There were far more than I could have named on my own with my basic "Land Before Time" dinosaur knowledge. Upstairs, you'll find rocks and gems, which is well done although maybe less interesting to some folks. However, take a peek at the dinner rocks-there's a whole display of rocks that are in the shape of food. I got a kick out of that. Outside, there's lots of wide open space with paths that wander throughout the trees. There are dinos dispersed throughout the property, and a few benches to sit on. Lots of the grounds were covered in weeds, which may have been what the dinosaurs preferred to eat. However, in modern day, it just looks unkempt. For a kiddo-or adult-that has a fascination with dinosaurs, this could be a fun place to spend an afternoon. For the rest of us, an hour or two is probably plenty.

    This place is seriously SO COOL! We visited for the first time and had an absolute blast. There is…read moreso much to explore, and it's incredibly well set up for little kids. Our guy is 20 months old and had the best time running around and discovering everything. He especially loved the little make-believe town and playing with all the different interactive elements but the water tables were the clear favorite! He could've stayed there forever. Such a fun, engaging experience for kids and parents alike. We can't wait to go back and explore even more next time! PS they supply aprons and water boots in the water table room! Super convenient. I suggest bringing a change of clothes or some PJS to change your little one into in case they get soaked!

My kids are 2 and 5 and they had a blast. My partner and I typically love kids museums, but we didn't enjoy this one. We went on a Monday around 3 and it was packed. As an educator I really appreciated how exhibits were super low floor and high ceiling so kids of a large age range could all enjoy, but as a mom of littles it was dangerous and overwhelming. There were so many kids sprinting around unsupervised which was a safety issue for my little ones. They got pushed around a lot, many kids were hoarding all the balls or pieces for certain exhibits. The amount of running was pretty dangerous especially for my almost 2 year old. I liked that they had indoor and outdoor exhibits. They had a car repair shop, water play, air driven scarf and ball mazes, fish feeding (for a cost), a play ground, a climbing gym, a ropes course, a cafe, a gift shop, mazes and brain games, and many other exhibits. They had a variety of locations to park strollers. There were steps and elevators. The bags they put the fish food in were way too flimsy. Both broke on my kids and we were scrambling trying to hold the food and pick it up off the ground. It was nice that they have free parking and don't make you exit through the gift shop.

The staff here are incredibly knowledgeable and kind. My daughter loves going into the C-130 and to check out the cockpit. This is the perfect place to be on a hot day since the museum stays nice and cool.

I read up on military stories. And sometimes, I was lucky enough to meet a veteran that would share their stories. Hill Aerospace had all of that. Since my wife does the planning, I didn't think much of our visit until we pulled up and those large decommissioned military planes sitting outside in all of its glory brought me back to when I was 10 years old. But the magic continues after you walk in. Within three large hangers housed of some of the most historically iconic planes on display. Add a small platoon of veterans, many of which had personally flown some of these pieces, the stories were endless and I had the honor of speaking with a number of these veterans and listen to their stories. It was an amazing time and I could have spent the whole day there. I don't say this often, but Hill Aerospace is almost a destination museum. It was such a great experience and those veterans made it that much more special.

    Cool interactive three-story planetarium in Salt Lake City's Gateway District located across the…read morestreet from Delta Center (home of NBA's Utah Jazz and NHL's Utah Mammoth). We actually didn't realize that this would be an interactive kind of thing until we first stepped in. Entry is free and you get an immediate hands-on experience once you walk in. We visited on a Friday evening and the crowd traffic wasn't too bad. It was busy, but not extremely busy by any means. The first floor includes asteroids and Mother Nature stuff, like tornadoes and volcanoes. There's a tornado that you can step into and it actually destroys it when you walk into it. But don't think if you've ruined it, because it will come back when you walk out of it. You can also touch the moon and billions old asteroids and play around with a volcano simulator. I even tried to lift a meteorite and it was quite heavy! On the second floor you will find an IMAX theater, where you can watch space movies. Concessions are included like in a real movie theater. No food or drinks are allowed in their other theater on the third floor, however. The third floor is all about space and planets. We got to learn what various planets smell like by pressing a button and putting our nose in front of the vent. We also got to see how water freezes (under a magnifying glass) and a special camera of what our body temperature was like. We also walked into a red planet room with interactive robots. This room definitely looked like something out of Star Wars. If you like anything space related and if you're looking for something to do in the Gateway District, I recommend Clark Planetarium!

    We came here on a Saturday afternoon after having brunch nearby. It wasn't very busy, so we were…read moreable to look at and try everything without waiting too long. It was a fun little activity, especially considering it's free! Is it the most impressive museum you'll ever go to? No, but my nephew had fun and honestly that's all that matters!
