The 5 Best Science Museums in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range

June 5, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Stretching 160 miles through Utah, the Wasatch Range makes a rugged, glacial backdrop for the 85% of the state’s population living within 15 miles. Mount Nebo is highest at 11,928 feet, but the peaks around Alta and Park City are most popular. "The greatest snow on earth" falls on these spectacular slopes. Lone Peak’s granite outcrops provide top climbing. Canyons and valleys are loved by fly-fishermen and hikers. After all that adventure, retire to a hip restaurant or enticing hot tub in chic Park City.

Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum

Reviewed By vetism

Our family enjoyed our visit of this museum during spring break. We attended the afternoon live animal show, which was informative and well done. The incredible collection of taxidermy animals is purely fascinating. The museum is well maintained and meticulously clean. Visitor parking is free. You just park in the adjacent parking lot, and go in to the front desk to ask for a complimentary parking permit. We would definitely recommend this museum to all families who are visiting the Provo area.

Even though its a small museum, it has a ton of exhibits. We were pleasantly surprised of the items how they were displayed. A world class Paleontology museum. Worth the time to visit.

Butterfly Biosphere

Reviewed By michaelrW3993YD

The biosphere itself is one of the most peaceful places you'll ever find yourself. It's humid for the butterflies, so between the warmth and nature you'll find yourself relax very quickly. We're lucky to enjoy a place like this in Utah. From what I understand it's the largest indoor butterfly habitat in North America. The museum portion of the facility is also a lot of fun, great for kids, and offers a variety of engaging educational experiences.

Museum of Anthropology

At the Museum we treat Anthropology as more than the mere study of cultures; it is the study of human behavior - past and present. We ask the big questions about human experience: • Who are we and where did we come from? • How have we changed and where are we going? • What is culture and how do we share it? Join us in exploring the worlds of Anthropology through a visit today!
