Description.
Step back in time as you walk through the dinosaur garden.
Look up to a full-size replica of a 20-foot tall Tyrannosaurus
with six-inch knife-like teeth or look down on a ferocious
four-foot meat-eating Coelophysis. Seventeen life-size
prehistoric animal replicas line the garden paths. Ancient
fossil skeletal reproductions, archaeological and geological
exhibits, fluorescent minerals and other natural history
aspects of the Uinta Mountains and Uinta Basin are featured
in the Utah Field House of Natural History museum.
The museum and dinosaur garden are in the heart of Dinosaurland
in Vernal. A picnic area is located behind the museum.
Camping is available at nearby Steinaker and Red Fleet
state parks.
