Life-Size Dinos in Dinosaur Garden

Dinosaur sculptures. There's a new dinosaur museum in Vernal, Utah, for children and adults alike. Gives a great history of the area, and has beautiful life-size statues of lots of different dinosaurs (including a terrific T-Rex, as seen in the picture). Many dinosaur sites are found in eastern Utah, including Dinosaur National Monument. The State Park Museum here houses an extensive collection of fossils from many sites, along with impressive full-size replicas of prehistoric animals.Exposed rock in this area reveals more geologic time than you will see in the Grand Canyon. Within an 80-mile radius of Vernal, evidence of much of Earth's history is visible. The Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum is a 22,000-square foot structure built to preserve and reveal the wealth of prehistory found within Utah's Uinta Basin.Outside the museum, and providing the greatest appeal to passing visitors, is the Dinosaur Garden, a prehistoric zoo of full-size replicas ranging in age from Pennsylvanian through Pleistocene. The garden includes a 20-foot Tyrannosaurus with six-inch, knife-like teeth, a horned Triceratops, six-ton Stegosaurus, winged Pteranodon and other full-size prehistoric animal replicas.
