Natural History Museum of Utah

Why go

The exhibitions connect what you see outside in the Salt Lake Valley to the state's geology, ecosystems and past. The foothill setting makes that connection especially clear: the museum is a useful place to understand the land before heading farther into it.

What to look for

• Four floors of exhibitions explore Utah's natural history.
• The Rio Tinto Center sits against the Wasatch foothills.
• Displays cover subjects from paleontology to the Great Salt Lake.

Useful to know

• Allow roughly two to three hours if you want to explore the permanent exhibitions rather than sample one floor.
• Check the museum's visit page for your date before making the trip to the foothills.
