Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, Woodland Park

Amazing showcase! We loved every second of the place, and Danny - our tour guide - was knowledgeable and kind, even dealing with our random interjections and tangents hahaha. There are so many large and beautiful specimens here, along with a cleaning lab with active cleanings in progress - My fiance and I spent a solid 3 hours enjoying the tour and museum. You can even touch real dinosaur bones here! 10/10 would come back with my kiddo - it was 100% worth it!

So many cool things to see in one visit! We learned so much and enjoyed hearing about the latest findings and discoveries in this still emerging field. There is a nice gift shop at the end and the guides are so knowledgeable; we really would want to schedule a private tour to deep dive into specific topics. The drive to Woodland Park is also so beautiful. Take your time to enjoy the backside views of Pikes Peak as well. We will be back again!

It's a fantastic visit. You can see the work being done to recover the actual fossils through a wall of windows. There are countless displays of dinosaur skeletons, both actual and reproduction s. It is self guided with attendants available to answer questions. They also offer guided tours. Many hands on displays and a small children's corner. The gift shop is huge and well stocked. There is a photo corner that offers the chance for you to be seen being menaced by a large dinosaur.

We had an awesome time! We got there just in time for a tour with a very knowledgeable staff member. All of the employees were awesome. There’s a military discount on tickets, gift shop had some artifacts and a good selection of childrens books. It’s a small facility took us about 30 min to go through. There’s a nice selection of small restaurants and a brewery in walking distance.

A unique experience. I think $14 per adult is a bit steep considering the smaller scale of the museum. Was happy to see my favorite dinosaur, the Quetzalcoatlus, even if it was only a 1/3 scale replica. Very cool but I probably wouldn't recommend a drive here if it's more than 30 minutes for you, I'd say it's roughly half and half replica skeletons vs real bones. Staff were very knowledgeable and great to speak with!
