Hard to find, small, but pretty neat. Nice quick stop for a road trip.

I was amazed at the amount of original fossils they have in their tremendous displays!

I was blown away by some of the displays and interactivity of the place. The cards that allow you to see 3D images through the app? Ive been to some big name museums and even they dont do anything like that!I gladly bought a shirt from the museum and cannot wait to tell people where I got it. If you are even a tiny bit interested in this kind of stuff you have to stop by.

The Fossil Fish Festival today was a blast! Our kids loved all the information, activities and especially the scavenger hunt. Everyone from UW working at the event was so helpful and friendly. The museum is very cool and worth stopping by (FREE!!). Lots of fossils from Wyo and abroad.

I chanced upon this Museum accidentally and boy was I am amazed at what we found. the University of Wyoming does an excellent job of presenting their archaeological finds as well as history of the area around Wyoming.We were very lucky to meet one of the paleontologists who works in the field around Wyoming and was recently involved with discovering fossils during a pipeline dig. We learned so much in such a short time.The museum is a smaller museum with two levels that you will at least spend an hour and a half to two hours walking around looking at and reading all the information. There fossil skeleton collection and displays Rivals some larger museums. People of all ages will appreciate a visit here. It is a free museum and offers sitting areas with story books and video presentations as well as the normal Museum amenities. If you find yourself even near this area plan a visit.

A small but very well done museum. If you are in town it is well worth a visit. The University grounds make for a pleasant walk. Will hold the attention of both adults and dinosaur loving kids

Kids had a great time. Main attraction was an augmented reality sand box that allowed them to see how water flowed between different elevations and changes in landscape...

This place was amazing. Its bonded interested in my six-year-old and dinosaurs that lasted over a year. The displays are beautiful their Dynamic. Some of the displays are set up to look almost like artwork. Plus its very exciting theres a good chance that one of the actual archaeologist that are working on staff will come out and talk to you and they will talk as much as you want to talk with them Im very glad this place was on our travels and that my kids got to experience it

One of the best geological museum Ive seen

Visited while vacationing. Such a great collection of specimens. The geology section was fun too, nut just the dinosaurs, but the dinosaurs were the highlight though. The selection was amazing. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly great number of specimens on exhibit. Great for kids of all ages.

Really nice collection of fossils.

Dinosaur fossils! Great little museum. Nice place to check out if you have a spare 30 minutes or so. Other museums on campus too, will have to explore those next time in Laramie

Loved it. Much better than anticipated. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was hard to find but the University was doing roadwork. It is definitely recommended that you stop here if you are traveling on I-80 through Wyoming. Youll learn about minerals, archeaology and dinosaurs. This is a must-see if you find yourself staying in Laramie. It is also very kid friendly.

Great place for a family visit. Not too big so it was great for kids.

A great way to spend an hour or two

They were very friendly and had several hands on activities that my young kids loved. Their AR sandbox is genius and was fun for kids and adults of all ages.

This place is great. The people there are extremely informative and its a wonderful place to take the kids as well. Hit the measum as well, there is lots to do and see. Stop in the survey building to pick up your free sample of wyomingnite and some great free literature to learn all about wyoming geology!

This place is a gem on the UW campus that is treasured by alumni and locals. An amazing FREE museum that almost got shut down a decade ago and was saved by generous donors and loyal fans.

It was fun, my BF and I enjoyed it but couldnt find a place to park without needing a permit

Incredible little museum. Lots to look at in the land of dino fossils. Great AR tools.

Small, but fun museum. Has some interactive things for kids. Really like the AR sandbox that shows how water flows on mountains

Educational, fun and free!

Hard to park and find if youre not familiar with the campus, but it was a good 30 minute stop with the 8 yr old, and we enjoyed walking the dog around the vast green grass park like lawns and looking at the interesting architecture of the various college buildings. Like others have said, its not really worth a trip to Laramie just for this, but if you combine with the many other museums in town you can create an interesting day.

While I wouldnt go to Laramie just for the museum, its a great way to spend 30-45 minutes. They have a unique sand exhibit which has topographic map lines and water images projected on top of the sand. Changing the sand pattern shows how water will flow which is probably the best demonstration of the effects of elevation that Ive ever seen.Additionally, many of the exhibits such as mineral descriptions and fossils are quite engaging. Given that it is a free museum, its absolutely worth checking out if you are near the University of Wyoming

A small museum with good displays and an augmented reality sandbox for the kids to play in.

Good museum to enjoy in your wonderful time to learn geological history and see some dinosaurs, also a lots of minerals.

Free to the public and has great displays!

Always great to see the mix of familiar and the new.

Very great experience for all ages. The staff is very helpful, kind, and always there to answer questions. Admission is free which is a bonus, and they have free coffee that is a special blend made for them by local Coal Creek Coffee Co. Overall, a must stop by in Laramie.

Fantastic little FREE museum located on the University of Wyoming campus. Well worth your work to find it in the geology building. Fantastic activities for children, a wonderful black light gem room, great fossils and wonderful history of the area. Dont miss it!

This is a really fun place to go if you have visitors in town. Its free and easy to get to if youre on the UW campus. Theres an interactive sandbox with a topographical map thats really cool and fun for children. I took a kid here while babysitting and it was a good educational activity to get him out of the house. The exhibits are really well done and are about Wyoming geography specifically which is pretty awesome. Ive done a tour here with a class and the students who work here are very knowledgeable.

Great free paleontology museum with some rocks and minerals too.

For a free museum it was great i spend a couple of hours there . Really nice for little kids all kinds of things to touch and see. I had a great time there. Thanks

Great staff, very helpful. Enjoyed

It was fun and nice to see the different fossils

Really neat thing to have right on campus. Its not huge but its free and interactive.

This FREE university museum is small but mighty. An absolutely amazing brontosaurus skeleton, one of only 5 in the world. Other fossils and skeletons. Very small,takes less than hour to see all exhibits. Did I mention:FREE.

Loved this mini Adventure on the University campus! My children loved going through there we will definitely be back!

Was most awesome! I LOVED the butterfly exhibit! The dinosaurs were amazing!

Good place to know about geology and evolution in Wyoming and elsewhere. Fluorescent rocks are cool. Simulation sandbox is very interesting.

School for the learned.

We absolutely love this place, there is always something new we discover. Well worth your time to stop and see some real fossils and learn something new about our magnificent earth!!

Very educational and free for all. Interesting as well

Informative and nicely presented exhibits. Many fossils and fossil castings and nice display of Wyoming native rocks.

Even more fun and informative today than it was when I first visited on a field trip as a kid decades ago. Some exhibits stay the same, and others change over the years, but theres always something new to see on each visit. The UW Geological Museum is an iconic part of the campus, and gem for people of the state.

This place is awesome! The girl who works the museum, Kymbre, is incredible

Great resource on campus and would highly recommend for those off campus. Educational, fascinating, fun.

Its small but the kids enjoyed it. Specifically the sand put that has a projector with topo lines that change as the sand moves.

Excellent small museum that was very well done. 1 hour sufficient to appreciate the 1st floor exhibits.

Great time at the Geology Museum Fish Fossil Museum today.

Loved this place for 50 years!

Fun sand table. Lots of Bones and activities. Largest Apatosaurus.

Pretty small and some sections being redone, but its free and worth a peek

For its size it was great

A great place to take your kids plus it is also free.

Nice to spend some time

Great place to see fossil and Big Al but not everything is up to date with current information and at least I was treated like a child or someone who was not in the paleontology field. The docient was polite though, I think he did sould like he memorised flash cards before talking and couldnt engage with me well.

Loved the dinosaur museum!

Throw pinecones, save the world!

Son loved this place

A great place to take the children
