Museum of Ancient Life

Now called the Mountain America Museum of Ancient Life, this is Thanksgiving Point's dinosaur hall, with 60 complete mounted skeletons and more than 50 hands-on exhibits. The newer Need for Speed exhibit sets Jurassic predators like Ceratosaurus and Tanycolagreus side by side, and in the lab you can watch paleontologists and volunteers dig out a 150-million-year-old Barosaurus. Tickets are timed, so buying ahead is the move.
