There's always something new to see at the Museum of the Rockies, Montana State University - Bozeman. You'll travel through 4 billion years of Earth's history beginning in the geology hall, Landforms/Lifeforms. Your next stop is One Day 80 Million Years Ago, a recreation of the dinosaur nesting colonies discovered by Jack Horner, the Museum's Curator of Paleontology. Travel on through exhibits about Montana's Native Americans and the state's recent history. And don't miss the world-class Taylor Planetarium for a new perspective on Montana's Big Sky. During the summer, visit a living history farm and see what life was like a century ago on a Montana homestead. And each summer, the Museum features a new exhibit. West of Wonder: The Natural History of Lewis & Clark. Often thought of as America's great adventure story, the Lewis and Clark Expedition should also be thought of as America's first great scientific endeavor. As we commemorate this great exploration, we also celebrate - in this exhibit - a scientific achievement that represents the epitome of Enlightenment Science.

Very informative and interesting place. The planetarium was equally informative and well worth the time to watch and learn. We watched the "Montana Skies" presentation that was all about the stars and galaxies and constellations we can see here in Montana. I would highly recommend this place if in the area. Had many, many displays of dinosaur bones, skeletons and displays of many interesting animals that have been found throughout different parts of the state. The two or three life size T-Rex skeletons were amazing. The triceratops displays were equally awesome. Much more than I thought this place would be, so glad we took the time to visit. Great for the kids as well!

Incredible place; the membership is absolutely worth it if you have children or if you really enjoy natural history. There’s an amazing and safe educational play area for kids. There is a planetarium which is always really fun. If you haven’t been and you end up near Bozeman it’s a great escape and time killer for curious groups of people.

Great experience and the staff was extremely friendly. I've been to almost every big museum in the USA, while this isn't the biggest, it is one of my favorites. For such a small museum, they have a lot of dinosaur displays.

An incredible museum in Bozeman! Stopped in again during the SUE the T. rex Exhibit and was once again back to being a child. Don’t miss this interactive exhibit if she is still there! The Hall of Dinosaur’s is must for any Jurassic Junkie and don’t miss the history portion of the Greater Yellowstone or the Planetarium.
