In the western area of Colorado is the Dinosaur Journey Museum in Fruita. This gem of a museum features real fossils, cast skeletons and robotic reconstructions of dinosaurs. Guests will ooh over the life-sized exhibits and ahh over the on-site activities, including a simulated earthquake ride and a sandbox area where they can create dinosaur tracks. Kids can get their hands dirty in the quarry area and unearth real Jurassic dinosaur bones on their own.

Summer hours are May 1 through September 20, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission prices are $9 for adults; $7 for seniors; and $5 for children. For information, call 970-858-7282 or visit museumofwesternco.com/dinosaur-journey.
