Everything OddWay knows about. Narrow it down by what you're after, or where you're going.
Small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
Salt Lake City, UT
Interactive exhibits include meteorites, planetary displays and space-science installations in downtown Salt Lake City. The real extraterrestrial material and large-format astronomy programming make it a useful science-side OddWay stop.
Moab, UT
A short BLM trail reaches large sauropod and theropod footprints preserved in sandstone north of Moab. The tracks remain in place in the rock rather than behind museum glass.
Blanding, UT
The privately operated museum is known for dinosaur eggs, fossil skin, skeletons and displays about dinosaurs in movies and popular culture. Its mix of serious specimens and cinematic history is unusually specific.
Jensen, UT
A cliff face inside the exhibit hall contains roughly 1,500 dinosaur bones still embedded where they were found. Visitors can see and in some places touch genuine Jurassic fossils.
Lehi, UT
This old-style local museum mixes fossils, taxidermy, pioneer objects, Native American material, minerals and unusual historical specimens under one roof. Its deliberately eclectic collection feels closer to a cabinet of curiosities than a conventional single-topic museum.
Elmo, UT
This fossil quarry contains an unusually dense concentration of Jurassic dinosaur bones, including many Allosaurus remains. Scientists still debate why so many animals accumulated here.
Moab, UT
A boardwalk crosses a dense tracksite preserving footprints from multiple dinosaur species. The BLM-managed site lets visitors examine an actual ancient walking surface without stepping directly on the fossils.
Kanab, UT
A roadside sandstone cave houses a family-run collection of fossils, minerals, Native American artifacts and pioneer objects. The cave itself began as a 1950s bar and dance hall.
Salt Lake City, UT
The museum's paleontology halls display Utah dinosaurs, fossils and changing discoveries from one of North America's richest fossil states. The dramatic building sits directly against fossil-bearing regional geology.
Salt Lake City, UT
Six floors of artifacts collected by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers create an enormous, densely packed archive of nineteenth-century Utah life. The volume and eccentric variety of objects make it far stranger than a normal regional-history display.
Moab, UT
Tracks and rock art occur near the same Colorado River trailhead used for Longbow Arch. The pairing of dinosaur traces and later human markings makes the site especially strong for OddWay.
St. George, UT
A museum building protects dinosaur tracks exactly where they were discovered on the former Johnson farm. Thousands of footprints and trace fossils preserve an unusually detailed Early Jurassic ecosystem.
Price, UT
This university museum combines major dinosaur collections with archaeology from the Fremont and other Indigenous cultures of eastern Utah. Its concentration of locally excavated material gives it stronger OddWay relevance than a generic natural-history museum.
