Ready To Celebrate? Here’s The Best Place In Bozeman To Do So.

Just in case you were unaware, today is a pretty special day. Today is Dinosaurs Day: the day that we remember those mammoth creatures that roamed the earth millions of years before we did. In fact, scientists believe that dinosaurs first appeared about 245 million years ago, only to go extinct about 66 million years later.

Still, 180 million years is a pretty impressive run, right?

Of course, if you're looking for some dinosaur action, you could just watch Jurassic Park—or, you could go and see some of the most impressive displays in the United States, and you don't have to go very far.

Just on the other side of Bobcat Stadium is the Museum of the Rockies here in Bozeman.  The Museum of the Rockies hosts the largest collection of dinosaur bones in the country and has the distinction of having the largest Tyrannosaurus skull that's ever been discovered.

Of course, dinosaurs aren't the only thing worth checking out at the Museum of the Rockies. During the summer they also have the "Living History Farm," which allows folks to step back in time and check out what an actual Montana homestead would be like. There is an actual home from 1899, plus outbuildings, and many other displays that allow the visitors to get the full experience of yesteryear in southwestern Montana.

The Living History Farm is only open from Memorial Day through Labor Day and is included with admission to the Museum.

The Museum of the Rockies is open daily from 9 am until 5 pm all year round, with the exception of a handful of days. One of the highlights and something you most certainly want to explore is the Taylor Planetarium, which offers a variety of different features that are both educational and entertaining.

So, celebrate Dinosaurs Day in style, and head over to the Museum of the Rockies.
