The Age of Reptiles Mural
At the Yale Peabody Museum. It is at once a motion picture and a time machine, a menagerie and a botanical garden that portrays an almost unimaginable chapter of earth history spanning more than 300 million years. Click on the mural to get more information. A virtual museum tour.

Center for GeoScience Education and Research
In the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. If groups of home school students come our way, we would gladly give them a tour of the area, which includes dinosaur track sites, and quarry sites. The quarries are only open at certain times during the summer. Ask for Rowena Manuel.

Dakota Dinosaur Museum
Display of earth science specimens excavated from the area as a community educational and economic development project.

Dinocountry
Located in Eastend, Saskatchewan, in Canada. The new T-Rex Center has day camps, evening movies and more. Learn all about our discovery of "Scotty", the Tyrannosaurus rex, and other fossils they have found.

Dinosaur National Monument
The legacy of rivers, past and present. Here, preserved in the sands of an ancient river, is a time capsule from the world of dinosaurs. The Zeise family stopped here on their trip across the country. It was out of the way, but worth the trek, so wait until the new center is completed in the fall of 2011. Located in the north corner where Utah and Colorado meet. National Park Service Site.

The Dinosaur Park
Travel back in time as you walk along six life-size dinosaur replicas on display throughout nature trails. Bastrop County, Texas.

Dinosaur Provincial Park
Plan to take two days to fully explore this natural preserve in Alberta, Canada. It has a group campground, so perhaps your whole support group could visit at once!

Dinosaur State Park, Connecticut
One of the largest dinosaur track sites in North America, displaying early Jurassic fossil tracks made 200 million years ago.

Dinosaur World
Three outdoor museums, one in Plant City, Florida, one in Cave City, Kentucky, and the third in Glen Rose, Texas. Nestled among a lush assortment of native vegetation, the dinosaurs are so believable that some visitors claim to see them moving through the shadows cast by the many native trees.

Dinosaurs in New Jersey
The Morris Museum's Dinosaur Den houses some of our most well-loved exhibition materials, including real and cast fossils, reconstructed dinosaur skeletons and life-sized dinosaur models.

Fryxell Geology Museum of Augustana College
This site is a photographic tour of this college museum in Rock Island, Illinois. Photos include that of Cryolophosaurus, other dinosaurs, reptiles, Ice Age mammals, Mazon Creek specimens, and earlier Ordovician fossils, plus the remains of pterosaurs and mosasaurs.

La Brea Tar Pits
In the heart of Los Angeles, California, for tens of thousands of years, lay a asphault tar pond that trapped many creatures of the Pleistocene: sabre tooth tigers, mastadons, birds of prey and more.

Marmarth Research Foundation
North Dakota The Marmarth Research Foundation is conducting seven weeks of research activity in 2008 and is accepting applications from volunteers to assist with the project. The minimum age of participation is 14.

The Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail
This site in Utah is a bold experiment; there are no guards or fences here. You, the visitor, are the protector of this valuable resource. It is illegal to remove, deface, or destroy improvements, rocks, and fossils.

Missouri Ozark Dinosaur Project
The story of Missouri's dinosaur begins in Bollinger County, Missouri, in 1942 when the Chronister family accidentally uncovered a number of unusually large bones while digging a well.

Montana Dinosaur Digs: Judith River Dinosaur Institute of Montana
The Phillips County Museum is the official repository for specimens collected through the work of the Judith River Dinosaur Institute.

Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center
Host to some of the most spectacular dinosaurs, marine reptiles, flying reptiles and fish of North America's Late Cretaceous world. Located "At the Palms" in downtown Woodland Park, 201 S. Fairview St., Woodland Park, Colorado.

Royal Tyrrell Museum
There's a lot to see and just as much to do at the world-renowned Royal Tyrrell Museum. To find the activity that's right for you.

T. rex Discovery Centre

UC Berkeley Museum of Palentology

Utah Summer Fossil Dig
