For $10 we got to spend 3 hours looking through 2 museums and then enjoying the petrified wood outside (brand new). Plus theres houses, trains and more outside near the picnic areas. If youre a history buff there is great information inside the museum and outdoors too. I would highly recommend every parent takes their kids! The gift shop was small but has a decent variety.

This place is really cool. Its a little smaller than I expected but definitely an awesome exhibit. Also have a nice little gift shop with a variety of different things. The little Historical Museum has a lot of interesting information of Dickinson. Definitely decently priced even for a big family. Wish the stupid covid-19 wasnt going on so I could have done the interactive things with my little man.

This museum has a lot of info on dinosaurs and also a section of history of north Dakota since the first settlers came here. It is a great learning experience for older kids and adults plus it is a fun time for younger kids that like dinosaurs

GREAT PLACE FOR ALL AGES...AMAZING GIFT SHOP, A LOT OF NEAT ROCKS TO BUY IF YOUR A ROCK HOUND...ITS A MUST SEE!!

A neat little working museum. They have real dinosaur bones and a lot of good information. Good place to stop.

We enjoyed our visit to the Dickinson museum. Very informative and interesting place. Most of the time we were the only ones there. Dont miss out go visit the museum.

Absolutely wonderful place. My father and I seen so many unique and unusual species. This place has a massive collection of both dinosaur fossils and precious stones. You are able to watch them work on newly discovered artifacts which really gives you an up close look at how its done. The black light room is a must. Dont forget the gift shop. I was able to get really nice pieces of amethyst for under $10. The admission is very affordable. We also left a donation because this has to be one of the best museums we have ever visited.

Its kind of a small museum but they do have a lot of really interesting thing . I LOVE the rock collection they have and my 2 year old absolutely loved it there as well . I would visit again

$5 for seniors. Includes geodesic, rocks, shell and dinosaur fossils. History of life inDickinson from 1800s to 1960. Outside tour of homes, blacksmith shop, one room school, church, grocer/post office, farm implements etc. Well worth the price. Took me 4-5 hours to tour. Outside blogs included tour guide narration.

This is not the biggest or fanciest museum you will ever see, but every time I have gone in the past two years or so, there is something new and interesting to discover. They have made their work lab available for people to watch paleontologists in action, they have updated and corrected displays based on new scientific research, and they have added several hands-on features for kids. This summer they have an intern who is really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his field and a lot of fun with the kids. Go meet Jorge before he goes home at the end of the summer! We also appreciate that they are incorporating their own current research and discoveries into the museum. Its changed from being a sort of repository of old information that seemed fairly stagnant to a vibrant, interesting center of learing. We feel really lucky to have it here in Dickinson!

This is a great place to check out. Large variety of things to see and learn about. Also a new skeleton being prepared for display. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

Really enjoyed spending the day at this facility. Excellent and helpful staff.

Great mineral and dinasaur exhibits!

Im so surprised at this hidden gem in Dickinson! When you go, youll understand the quotation marks around gem! Although comparatively small, there are more real fossils per sq ft and the most remarkable geod collection Ive ever seen. T rex? Check. Plus you can see fossil reclamation projects in their lab!

Very interesting. Very worth the visit. Mish mash of taped on arrows was confusing.

Cute place but kinda small so not sure if its worth it. If you have nothing else to do, go here.

Its a great gem in our home state. Very educational.

Awesome place! Perfect place to take the kids

We had a Great time.kids enjoyed every minute.

Absolutely gorgeous place!

A great place to know about Dinosaurs, history of earth and fossils. They have a good collection of items which will not disappoint a visitor.

Great little museum. I was pleasantly surprised

So worth the visit!.. could use a little better planning was a little hectic kind of jumbled but overall great experience!!.

Awesome place, cool kids activities area, the gems & stones they have their are jaw dropping. Especially in the dark room

A great local museum, with family oriented events. My child loves their Toddler Tuesdays in the mornings.

Fascinating fun. Worth the admission fee.

A great museum. There was this friendly intern archeology student who made a diorama for us with our sons dinosaur toys. Our son spent a lot of time making mountains, lakes and volcano with their sand/light stand. A good exhibit. The gift shop was good too

I really loved this place. I have been in several museums. I find even thought it is a small place. If you know what your looking at you will defiantly be blown away.

Very cool place! So many cool artifacts to look at. The minerals were very neat. The Whole sand and dinosaur area was super cool! Really neat place!

Dinosaur bones found right here in our state as well as quite the mineral collection from all over the world.

Kids loved all the fossils.

Nice museum. Loved seeing the dinosaur displays and the different rocks. Very neat and educational information about the displays. Would be a great place to take kids for a fun and educational trip. If in the area again I would most likely stop again.

One of my favorite stops on this end in North Dakota. What a great collection of dinosaur bones, geographical artifacts, and other pre-history displays.

Awesome display of fossils highly recommended

This museum is amazing. Brought my granddaughters there last week and the guy in the lab came out and answered questions for about an half an hour. We were there for about two hours total. The staff there was so nice and accommodating.

Great exhibits of dinosaurs and gemstones!

Good amount of exhibits in a great arrangement. My son and I really enjoyed the interactive sandbox and the skeleton puzzle!

Museum wasnt bad. The kids enjoyed the displays and loved the interactive topographical map. Staff left something to be desired. When we tried to pay to get in they acted like it was an inconvenience to have to help us.

Great museum! I wish there was more signage in the Stark County area explaining what things were, or at least labeling them.

Great place to both see and touch dinosaur specimens. There is also a small museum that holds a great overview of Stark County from early history to the 1960s.

What a great museum to have in Dickinson. I remember going here as a child and they have added some awesome exhibits. They also have interactive kid section.

The kids had a blast, the place is lovely, and has so many interesting things to see. We will be back!

It was interesting going here. Wasnt sure what to expect but the price wasnt crazy and the things they have are very interesting. I like the terrain sand that you can play with. We had a little fun doing that. Lots of little things to check out.

Lots of great exhibits. Good for all ages. Loved the antique pioneer equipment display also.

Cool dollhouse & mineral displays.

I was expecting more.Small museum.

Its worth a visit. Its not as grand as the Museum if the Rockies but still had a lot of interesting specimens. They also have a lot of interesting rocks and minerals

Very nice museum. Spent a rainy day there. Was interesting. The history museums has some inter things to see too.

A fun little museum! $6 entrance fee for adults but worth the price! We loved the TRex skull but wished there was more history about the first people of this region

I loved the dinosaurs! So into them. You would have thought i was a little kid visiting the museum.

First class museum.

It really explains the history of the world and is very good for kids that struggle learning out of books there is something of everything and there is a downstairs to that most people miss

Quaint innards provide great examples of geographically based history reflected in each display. Outside provides even more displays of their nature and the history of the land.

Very nice little museum. Great local history, rocks, and fossils..

Excellent exhibits.

It was more awesome than an awesome possum.

Smaller museum, great for kids with short attention spans. Also has an interesting display on historical life in ND.

Its small, but the kids loved it.

Prices are just right. Excellent displays, very informative, and brings me back to the time when I grew up.

Lots of different things

Very friendly people. Good for the smaller children.

Beautiful collections

There is a good variety of dinosaurs for the size of the museum. There is a flourecent rock display and a good variety of minerals. There are activities for kids in the museum like a sand table and activities with the exhibits. There is also a local history museum attached to the dinosaur museum which has some interesting displays.

Small museum but a lot to offer. Rocks and minerals collection was amazing for me and my geology nerd girlfriend. Fossils all around both cast and real. You could spend hours here if you actually take your time to look at everything. Its a hidden gem for sure

This place was awsome. Very informative. The intern at the museum came out amd answered all my granddaughters questions.

Really nice museum with friendly workers lots of cool things to check out definitely worth checking out sometime if youre in the area

Cool place out of the way. The people of Dickinson are warm and welcoming.

Small museum, but so much to offer. My kids loved it. Ill be bringing them back.

A smaller museum, but very nice. They have a new augmented reality feature the kids really liked. Some cool stuff here worth checking out. You can even see them working on fossils. They will talk to you and answer your questions.

I took my kids and we all really enjoyed it

For a small museum, there is a whole lot to see! The minerals were diverse and real whole dinosaur skeletons were nice to see. Stop by for sure! I was pleasantly surprised to see the Atomic Age display. So cool!

This museum has an extensive collection of rocks, minerals, fossils, and dinosaur bones. The information captions with each exhibition are interesting and just the right length. Our family has been to many museums, including natural history museums, and we found this collection and explanations to be excellent. We highly recommend it to folks in the area.

Small but well laid out.

Closed for Memorial Day, how precious. These goldbricks should ship everything to a real museum.

Great place to learn about the areas history and geology.

So much! Get off the highway, ND isnt boring at all! In 6 days I didnt get to everything.

AMAZING. The two beautiful feathered dinosaurs are worth the price of admission alone, but theres a lot of great stuff here. Great for families and paleontologists alike!

This museum is somewhere that Sparks my inner child. It was super neat to see the lady going through freshly found dinosaur bones and cleaning them off. She was very informative and fun to talk to

Amazing collection, especially for the size of the museum and town. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, and an interesting gift shop! 5/5

Really cool place with lots of rocks

Loved it. Of course I have 3 little nerdlings so there was no shortage of questions and conversation! The biggest hit were the poop, augmented reality display and crystals. Not a huge museum but worth the visit.

Kind of small. Lots of neat rocks/minerals. Cheap to get in.

Kids had a great time.

We enjoyed the exhibits, just enough inside to keep the kids interest but not get bored. My wife and I enjoyed the outside tours of the buildings and the equipment in the building.

It is currently open although it stated on Google it was closed. I would highly suggest for children. I have a 3 year old and he absolutely loved it. If you are an adult I would suggest something bigger in a different town, but definitely worth the money, which was not much. My son had a great time.

Lots of items, very unexpected in small town north dakota

Great place to learn about dinosaurs.

Nice place, this dinosaur exhibits and crystals are great! But when we went out side all the old out buildings where all locked up... not sure why you have to pay when you can not see inside them... that was a bit disappointing. But was a fun 20$ or more... activity to go do for a couple hours... the pioneer machinery shop out back was really neat..

Honestly it was a top 5 best weekends Ive had. Small but jam packed with wicked cool stuff

I loved it so did my son

Inexpensive, wide variety of stones and fossils.

What a great place!! The resident paleontologist was so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable!! Definitely would recommend this to everyone and our family will be returning for more

It’s kinda small. But it has lots of things to see. There’s a cool sand table in the back that changes colors according to the topography of the sand.

I had a great time here! Awesome rock and mineral exhibit. The dinosaur part was lacking but was still pretty cool! If youre in the area its worth the $6

Super fun

Great place. The Pioneer Village at the same location is very well done. Shows the history of the area.

Great museum considering the size

My son who is 11 loves dinosaurs and wants to be a Paleontologist...he thoroughly enjoyed this museum. Its quiet, which was nice, very clean and has some neat artifacts in it.

Lots of very interesting exhibits.

Awesome sights, authentic museum vibes
