It's a unique experience. Also, there is a small building inside there with some restrooms, and a shop with candy, soda, popcorn, etc.

My family and I saw a movie the other night. Our show time was 6:50pm so the theater had been open…read morefor awhile. Went to find seats and was grossed out by all the garbage propping the seats up and even found a reeses peanut butter cup smeared all over one of the seats. All of our feet stuck to the ground. A very disgusting and dirty theater. Also our popcorn tasted stale and burnt.

The price is right -- you can see a first run movie with snacks for $10. The sound and picture…read morewere fine. Note -- cash only. The downside is that the theater itself was filthy. They apparently do not clean between showings, and people who attend apparently don't know how to use garbage containers.

This is a large museum near the center of Vernal, UT. It is a logical place for it, less than 20…read moremiles from Dinosaur National Monument. Parking is on-site in a dedicated lot behind the museum. The entrance fee when we visited was $10 per person. The museum is probably best for families with elementary school aged (or younger) kids. No one in our group was under 25, but we liked it. The exhibits are spread over 2 floors and also include some full size replicas of dinosaurs (and a mammoth) outside as well. If you start on the top floor, there are exhibits that include some dinosaur history and then basically trace life on earth through various eras. You descend on a long sloping hallway through these exhibits until you reach the most recent (still pre-history) section. This transitions into some dinosaur skeletons and simulated archeology digs. You are back on the ground floor at this point. Also on this level is a theater which shows a film about the history of the area, a window into a sop where they clean and prepare fossils for exhibit, and an exhibit about tourism activities in the area. It is worth checking out the full size replicas of multiple dinosaurs around about 1/3 of the exterior of the building also. We arrived here in the afternoon just an hour or so before closing time at 5 p.m. We still managed tour the whole place, but if you are really interested you may want to allocate at least 2 hours. If you are in Vernal, this is definitely worth checking out.

OK... realize Vernal is nowhere near the size of a big city - so set your expectations accordingly…read more- and you'll quickly realize that - wow - this place has so much more than you'd expect as a result. When you go in, there's a movie that sets the stage. Can get boring for kids, yet works well for adults. Then, you just follow the route through about six or seven rooms ranging from a fossil dig, to history going back to the dinosaur age, to geologic history, along with a room that is "find the ancient animal" that kids love. Once finished, you've gradually moved from the 1st floor to the 2nd. There's a few more small exhibits. Then... outside is a route that goes around much of the building that has life-size recreated dinosaurs in their habitats. Takes about 90 minutes to do the whole thing depending on whether you are just adults, or have kids that are interested.
