Welcome

RMDRC is home to an awe-inspiring display of
dinosaurs, prehistoric marine reptiles, pterosaurs
and fish of North America's late Cretaceous.

Visitors can enjoy a wide collection of fossilized animals, see a working fossil laboratory and enjoy life-restoration as well as skeletons of these fascinating animals.  The best part, due to our field work, our exhibits change periodically. 

  For the kids, Woody's Paleo Playground includes
a dig site, activities like "create a dinosaur", dinosaur "rubbings" and educational videos non-stop. 

And don't forget our gift shop for all your dinosaur
needs.  For those who can't make it, we have it
available online.

 There's always something new to see,
so come, explore and enjoy our site!

Mike Triebold's interview with Channel 11

One thing is for sure, this isn’t your typical museum.  It’s what you don’t see that makes this museum so special.  A team of artists work meticulously on every specimen they bring into the shop, which is nestled in the back of the museum.

Photo of the Month

 

Discovery Channel shooting sea monsters at RMDRC 

Discovery Channel film crews were at the museum shooting scenes for an episode of the series “Megabeast”.  Their trip to RMDRC centers on the dominant predator of the late Cretaceous ocean, the mosasaurs, which were large marine lizards and were distributed world wide.

Every month we post a unique photo that captures a different view of activities, programs and learning that all ages can experience.
