The place is good and informational. Free admission and good for dino lovers. Its small, but it has pretty cool displays. If Im not mistaken, you can also see into the lab where theyre working on fossils and such.

My son wanted to see Dino’s so we took a dinosaur roadtrip in 2017. First stop was this place! So great. It’s small, but has a lot of exhibits that make it a good hour or more to stay at! It’s directly across the street from the football stadium!

I Took my family here several years ago great way to learn about dinosaurs. Great place to take children

I love the museum but they do not update the information on the website :( brought kids 2 times because it says it’s open but it is closed.

Its a great place to take the kids the people are helpful

Variety of collection of fossils. Though the space is small but definitely worth visiting. Offers a sneak peek into Jurassic era. One missed visit.

This museum is in an old building and could use some remodeling, but the exhibit is free and very fun. Great displays and a view of the paleontology students working.

The museum is really small (like 30 mins to go through it all pretty well), but it its free (they do have a donation box), quiet, and clean. There are several large dinosaur skeletons and displays of ancient creatures in a variety of sizes. We can typically see somebody working on some bones through the large observation window, which my kids enjoy.Note: I dont that it is open on the weekend, and it closes at like 4 or 5pm on weekdays, so dont plan on an evening/weekend visit.

Fascinating specimens!! Anyone who is saying that there was nothing interesting clearly isnt really into paleontology. There were quite a few new/not yet named species with full casts! Amazing to see how huge ancient creatures were, and to find out how many of these fossils were found!! I completely recommend visiting.

This is a great little museum. Every room has amazing displays documenting the incredible contribution BYU has made to the field of paleontology. Admittance is by donation and your visit is self guided. I visited during the week and only a handful of people were there.

It was small but a lot to see. And my kids loved the utah raptor and the t rex head.

Small museum, although it is a great place to take the young children. It’s quite, free, and you can see people working on fossils.

The best attraction in Provo and surrounding areas! Learn about Dinosaur Jim and get inspired by his amazing story of discovery. See the only dino that is named after an apostle. Have you mind blown by the largest sloth you could imagine.

It’s a bit old and the lighting isn’t great but I learned a ton about dinosaurs and they have an amazing fossil collection as well as an amazing collection of imprints in sandstone.

Its a relatively small museum, but has a lot of interesting displays. In my mind, there are two elements that make it well worth a visit. First off, it has a lot more original bones on display than what I find typical at dinosaur museums. I think its quite interesting to get a look at the actual fossil, which has a much different look to me than a cast. The other great element is that this museum features a high concentration of Utah dinosaurs. Its cool getting to see the many wonderful dinosaurs that were discovered here, like the Utahraptor. Seeing the abundance of different dinos native to the area increased my appreciation for the wonderful treasures we have in our state. I recommend checking this museum out!

Admission is free. The fossils are spectacular even though most are just copies of originals. Thats to be expected though. There are hands on exhibits available too that kept my kids very entertained.

My wife and I went with our daughter to this museum when BYU had their free museums night and it was great! They have a lot more there than you would think for such a small building and it was exciting to see the brand new Allosaurus Jimadseni skull on display. If you like dinosaurs this is a good place to check out

Small exhibit but still incredible. Offers awesome historical information as well as some biographies of notable paleontologists associated with BYU.We have taken our nieces and nephews here and they geeked out over the dinosaurs. It is a great place for family and for couples. Takes about 45 min to an hour depending on how much you read/ check out.

It may be small, but there are really cool skeleton mounts with some newly discovered specimens! A great place to come and draw skeletons or just to get some peace and quiet

It was so interestingtold by Victoria, The study of Paleontology.I would like for more people to go get a tour. I would love for this place to have a gift shop .

Small museum and few visitors, so our active little ones were not too disruptive to others. We enjoyed the whole experience!

A wonderful place for anyone who likes science, dinosaurs, or both. It is a small building for a museum, but they were able to comfortably fit more exhibits in it than I would have expected. There are fossils of fish, mammals and invertebrates as well as the inevitable dinosaurs. I thought the displays were well done and the plaques were very informative. Im glad I went.

I go to this museum often with my children and we love it! A few things to know before you go are: 1) it is a very small museum and if you rush through, youll be done in 5-10 minutes. I recommend talking to your kids or guests about taking your time at every display. I ask my kids to look at the teeth or claws of each dinosaur, etc. This way your tour of the museum will take 30-45 minutes and may be more worth the trip. 2) There is no admission charge, but donations are helpful: $1 per adult and 50 cents per child, I think. 3) They also have some very cool rocks / minerals on display, a large window to watch the students work on bones, clean restrooms, water fountain, and an active Facebook page if youre interested.

Gotta love the BYU dinosaur museum. We have been coming to it since my first child was little (now 22). Lets start with the fact that there is no entry fee--awesome, but dont forget to leave a donation to support the program. It is kid friendly, never crowded, and always fun. Dinosaurs, rocks, and prehistoric fossils...whats not to like? This time we didnt get to see any of the students working in the lab but its awesome when we have that opportunity.

For it being free Ill give this 5 stars. Basically you walk in a small circle or rooms one of which you can see people working on fossils behind glass. A few good dinosaur skeletons but not much else. I wouldnt plan to spend much more than 20 minutes heres and thats with reading everything in sight.

Cool bones and displays. Very small, but good info. The kids liked touching the fossils.

Such a cool museum and a very happy place to visit with my two young boys (2 and 4 years old).

Very small, but fun outing. Lots to see and learn. Perfect for little kids.

Just the right size museum to bring very young kids. We can walk through in about 15 minutes if the kids are rowdy or 30 if they want to look at all the fossils. Free, but donations are accepted. Very cool place to visit! My 4 year old especially loves the giant crocodile skull fossil.

This museum seems like an afterthought, BYU spends a lot of effort and money on other facilities, but not this place. The arrangement of the displays is not very child friendly. Lots of fossils are right there with no case or roping off which creates many attractive nusances for children, not exactly discouraging touching or protecting the assets. But I keep going back because my little ones love dinosaurs and love to run the circle around the museum. So it could be a lot better, but its not bad. :)

Great little museum. Literally a hidden gem across from the BYU football stadium. I took my children here on a field trip. It is a small museum but the specimens are great. It was really amazing to actually get to be up close and personal with the dinosaurs. My kids all loved this place too, so much that we have been multiple times. It is free but they ask for a small donation. a dollar or 2, to help keep the museum open.

I took my cub scout group and they loved it! The guide was able to explain about almost every fossil and where/ when it was found.

It’s been a while but I went when they had the titana boa exhibit it was breathtaking

This museum is pretty small, so dont come expecting something like the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. Its free, though there is a place for donations and not crowded.For the size they have a good variety of fossils. There is also a window where you can watch them working.The only problem is the hours. Its only open Monday through Friday and they close at 5.

Awesome museum with very insightful details about the specific dinosaurs and there discovery around the Western US. Great displays and small enough to entertain without being too much for all ages to enjoy.

This is a small museum full of Dinosaur wonder, my grandchildren love going there.

Amazing little museum!! Free, but we gave donations to keep this place going.

Its really small. But it had a lot of cool things for its size. We went for the second time. My kids lasted about 20 minutes each time (2 and 4 year olds). Great quick activity. Sometimes you see people working in the lab through the glass window. The descriptions on the plaques are helpful. They have rocks, fossils, bones, skulls, and replicas of dinosaur skeletons.

My boys get excited to come here. Its not huge, but theres enough to look at, and some things to touch that they think its cool.

My daughter loves going here. Its a small place but great to get out of the house. It could use a good dusting though.

Great place to visit. Really cool dinosaurs and students actually working to expose fossils.

Cool stuff... very small, only 10 minutes to walk through maybe 30 minutes if you read everything.

Has lots of cool exhibits filled with great and fun information about dinosaurs.

Relaxed atmosphere, very well. My children loved the bear hidding in cave.

This place is a free admission museum, and its content and displays are amazing.The building is small, so it takes less than 20 minutes to tour.My older kids loved it, and my toddler was entertained by the detailed displays

This is a tiny little museum but it is jam packed with awesome stuff! You can do this in under 30 minutes so its a great quick outing, especially if you have toddlers and/or young kids with short attention spans. We loved it and my toddler was happily entertained as well. They also have a glass wall that lets you watch as they work on preparing new specimens. Its free but they recommend a donation of at least $1 per adult and .50¢ per child - which is more than reasonable.

Dinosaurs! They have beautiful fossil displays and many cool specimens. We went during Night at the Museums and we loved it! They answered all our questions about the fossil and paleontology in general. Highly recommended I will be going back.

Awesome for kids and adults. Its small but but cool. I like that it has a lot of the animals from this area.

Really cool exhibits. Loved the local-ish exhibits (Utah, Montana, Wyoming) and the history.This place deserves to be kept up better than it is. Some of the placards had fallen down. And some displays are just sitting on the floor.Very kid friendly with a lot of touchable exhibits.

A small, fun museum with dinosaurs and ancient life exhibits. Admission is by donation (suggested $1/adult and 50¢/kid).

Wonderful exhibits. Excellent explanations. My grandkids And I loved being here

Good for a kids first time introduction to dinosaurs, but not much there.

Small but still very enjoyable!

It isnt very big, but there are some very interesting specimens to see.

Lots to see, kids loved it!

Amazing a must see.

We showed up for a guided tour that we had scheduled with them, and they no showed. We stood outside in the cold.

Closed for c19. Had no information to indicate this on website.

The exhibit area is fairly small, but the highlight was when we were watching employees clean fossils and an employee came out and offered to answer questions. He was really friendly and told us as much as he knew about different exhibits, explaining the mural that included all the fossils that have been found.

Fun place to take kids to see some fossils. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly

This place is fun, but it’s a shame it’s so hidden and small.

Small, well maintained, very informative and free. This was a great stop while travelling through the area with kids.

So cool and pay as much as you want. I love Dino breath

Love this museum. Informative, compact, a great place for kids! Even hands on exhibits.

My best friend found this gem because of her work. Its free, has so much information and had actual remains! It is a little small, however, I would totally recommend going to this place if you love dinosaurs. Its great if you only have a little time to spend like we did.

Its awesome for such a small museum! Lots of cool artifacts and hands-on specimens for kids.

There are only a half dozen full skeletons and some assorted fragments so it is a very small museum but it’s still dinosaurs so that made my day

Great museum. Ive been a big fan since the 70s and worked here in the 90s.

I was pretty impressed with the museum, especially for what it was. Tiny, in terms of museums, it was packed full of bones and pictures and informational plates. There are several touch stations where you can handle the fossils and see how big and heavy they really are. There was quite a bit of diversity in fossil types too, from dinosaurs to plants to ice age creatures. Some of the informational plates had fallen down and I hope that someone goes through regularly to check on things like that. Its a donation sponsored museum, and because of that, I wish that there was an opportunity to sponsor an exhibit like zoos and aquariums do. I think that would increase the upkeep on some of the dated exhibits, although there were some additional plaques that included updated information, so there is some effort being made to staying up to date.

Awesome fossils! This place doesnt look like much on the outside, but the dinosaurs are tremendous. Maybe 7 large, complete fossils. And free.

I upgraded my star count. Ill need to visit again sometime.

Nice little museum. Love taking our little ones here. Doesnt take long and it is pretty neat

Good exhibits. Great people to meet. Very scientific

Great little museum with lots of exhibits. A must see.

Great place for a quick stop for anyone that likes dinos! Only takes a few minutes and its free ( you can make a small donation of you wish)

This place was great. We spent well over an hour. If your kids are in to dinosaurs - they will love this place. No, it is not huge - but the specimens they have are really great. There are a lot of well known dinosaurs as well as some that are less well known. There is also a window into the lab where they excavate specimens from the field.

Good place to learn about dinosaur

Very small for a museum, had some semi-interesting displays, can see the whole thing in 20 mins

Its not a huge museum but for free (theres a suggested donation but no actually required entrance fee) its a pretty cool place. If you or your kids are into dinosaurs theyll enjoy this place. And you can see the entire museum in 20 minutes.

Its free which we love! Much smaller than the museum at Thanksgiving point but it still has tons of rocks and skeletons and will keep small kids entertained for half an hour. Older kids will be entertained for longer. There is a big glass window and you can watch palentology students at work!

A very well done and professional museum. Smaller of course, but its free and full of great specimens.

This museum looks small from the outside, but it has so much inside! They have a lot of fossils and several full skeletons on display. There is also a window where you can see the paleontologists working. Good for kids because it doesnt take long to go through but there is a lot to see.

Fun place for a quick visit. The 25 foot giant sloth was probably my favorite specimen.

Great museum with lots of good displays. Fun for kids and adults. Free admission.

Cool, free museum. It isn’t huge but the exhibits they have are great and inspire wonder.

What an awesome place to visit! To see all the displays without reading the information takes only 20 minutes or so, to read most the displays count on 45-60 minutes.As most the reviews agree, it is a small museum, but its a FREE museum so there shouldnt be any complaints. A good place to bring the kids, as well as to bring out the inner child. Love this place!

First place my children and I visited when we moved to Provo, Utah back in 2011. Cool stuff!

Really a cool cool place, they have awesome awe inspiring, educational display, top notch paleontologist s that often take time to talk with visitors and staff that will give people a museum welcome and intro whenever asked for in advance. Theres a glass wall at the back of the museum that will let spectators see Into the lab where the technicians prepare the bones, its a pretty cool experience, and they dont Evan charge you anything! They have a donation box near the museum entrance you can donate to, and trust me this museum worth your time and support, so bust out the car change if nothing else next time you plan a trip here, lets keep the good karma flowing, these people do alot of good work!

Great place to take kids. Interesting, educational, and has a great view of the fossil preparation lab. Its free and its not an all day commitment which is also nice.

I loved sharing this experience with my three year old granddaughter. She had almost as much fun as I did.

Great place to go and learn

Great but small exhibit. Price was free. But recommend using donation box to keep it running.

This is a fairly small museum but it has a nice collection of fossils. It is donation optional so it wont cost you much. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk through the entire building.

Nice small exhibit.

Really cool. Great to bring kids in the winter! My only criticism is that it seemed small

This is one of my favorite museums in the valley. Although small, it has fossils from the most recognizable dinosaurs including T-Rex and Triceratops skulls (huge!). It is also very educational, having displays with the history of Paleontology, facts about the dinosaurs, as well as large colorful murals on the walls. Excellent place for kids.

This is a great museum with lots of information and dinosaur exhibits! And on top of that, free! I dont think people give it enough credit.

This is a quick must see in provo

Bring the kids and grandkids! Its fun and educational. Helpful and friendly staff members that are willing to answer your questions. Dont miss this hidden gem.

Loved it! Free(but we gave a donation)..and it was very informative for my kids!
