This was one of the best museums i have visited, a great number of terrific exhibits. Lots of interesting displays and artifacts. Five floors of amazing dinosaur, early Native American and other historical displays and interactive opportunities. Several interactive displays that inject some hands-on fun into history and science. Could have easily spent two days there looking and reading. Great for kids too.

Nice museum with a variety of exhibits and areas to visit for all ages. Cafe is reasonably priced and has a good selection, including vegan and gluten free options. Ample parking, except during special events. The architecture of the building is impressive and it's utilizing green energy and building technology.

Spend a great evening here exploring the main exhibit. Extensive artifacts with information given for all ages. The layout of the main exhibit was set up in chronological order which added an extra level of enjoyment for me. Also the phone app provides even more information perfect for a nerd who wants all the possible information they can get.

This relatively new, architect really stunning, completely energy efficient attraction is definitely worth it! The location is spectacular and provides amazing views of the valley day and night!

The contrast of the very modern architecture against some of the ancient artifacts is a great juxtaposition. The shape of the building makes for a very natural flow for the tourist. I recommend starting at the top and slowly working back down.

The dinosaur, Native American art, and gemstone exhibits were my personal favorites.

I can see why this attraction is rated number 1 on TripAdvisor.
