Best Museums in Park City

"The Natural History Museum of Utah is undoubtedly one of the coolest places to see around Salt Lake City if you’re into history, science, and culture. It gives you an inside look into Utah and its rich past, ranging from its geography to its native background, as well as its most crucial historical moments. The museum boasts 10 permanent exhibits, as well as a wide variety of interactive features involving smell, touch, and other senses."

"The unique geography and natural history of Utah make the Natural History Museum of Utah exceptionally interesting. Interactive exhibits demonstrate how the topography of Utah and the Great Salt Lake developed. And of course, with dinosaur fossils still being found in the state, this museum boasts an awesome dinosaur exhibit including the world’s largest display of horned dinosaur skulls."

"The Natural History Museum of Utah is a working scientists' museum that includes paleontology exhibits and a lot more. Here are the museum's free days for 2019:. It's strongly recommended to reserve tickets online for the free days; these are released the Tuesday prior to each free day."

"The Clark Planetarium gives kids the opportunity for hands-on learning about our Earth, the moon, space weather and more. Rowen and Raven especially loved the Restless Planet Exhibit. We got to stand inside a tornado, watch lightning strike, watch the earth rotate and touch real geological items from the Earth."

"Located within the Gateway in Downtown Salt Lake City, Clark Planetarium is a valuable educational center. It provides a wide range of educational, entertainment, and learning opportunities for visitors. So, this is an ideal place to visit with your kids."

"The star shows and IMAX theater at the Clark Planetarium aren't free, but the planetarium does have a number of free exhibits that are interesting and worth a look, especially if you're in the area."

"In 2006, the Children's Museum of Utah relocated to this all-new location. Undergoing an incredible, modernizing facelift, this once drab museum became a colorful, interactive, state-of-the-art wonderland for children and their parents. Now called Discovery Gateway (after the Gateway Center, in which the museum sits), this 60,000-foot family fun center has numerous, stimulating exhibits that encourage children to learn about the world."

"Discovery Gateway is also neat and located right in the middle of Salt Lake City. It’s one of the few places that not only is open on Sundays but has a reduced Sunday fee ($6!) as well. Museum of Natural Curiosity in Thanksgiving Point is great fun but not cheap. Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper is very popular and quite impressive for a desert city."

"Come prepared to create, pretend, and play for hours at Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum. A miniature world awaits kids, including a grocery store, farm, car repair shop, and house that is just their size. They can also create their own rivers at the Water Play Exhibit, or put on a show at the Story Factory."
