What to do and see in St. George, Utah (UT): The Best Museums
St. George is central to some of the most dramatic natural beauty in the American West, from the Mojave Desert to Zion National Park and the Pine Valley Mountains. While its summers are hot, St. George's mild and largely snow-free winters make it popular with golfers, hikers and bikers. In fact, Brigham Young wintered here – his home in town is open to the public.

This museum is a treasure trove of information, artifacts, photographs, and antiques from the Pioneer time frame. It isn't a busy place--which is really too bad--and is a terrific place to learn about the settlers and history of the southern Utah area.

We took our 4 year old grandson and he loved it. Although some people thought it was fun for older children, I think the optimum age range would be 2 to around 2nd-3rd grade. There is so much creative fun to be had and plenty of hands-on exhibits. Clothes for dress up as a firefighter, construction work etc and a fun dinosaur area complete with a ride in an old mine wagon. We stayed 4 hours and our grandson would have happily stayed longer.

4.5 based on 4 reviews
The DiFiore Center has an impressive and diverse arts scene, and we'd like to reach into our very own neighborhoods for material as we continue to "put the community in the Community Arts Center." The DiFiore Center has turned into a home not only to its own projects, but also opened its doors to many community-based organizations. Our gallery shows change monthly.

My 5 year old daughter is a dinosaur lover, so we stopped in at this small museum while passing through St. George. The admission was affordable ($8 adults, $4 for kids 4+), and we were fascinated by the fact that their fossil displays were actually collected on site. How cool to walk where the dinos did and to learn more about the rich archaeological history of Utah! Be sure to watch the short educational video before beginning. We especially loved the section of the museum that preserves fossils as they were found — with the museum basically built on and around those recent discoveries (randomly found while a doctor was doing some construction on his property). There’s an outdoor play area with a sand pit for digging that my younger kids also loved, though it was so hot that it was hard to spend too much time out there. We finished the museum in about an hour, but are so glad we made the stop. My daughter even used her allowance to buy a stuffed animal dinosaur on the way out. She had a blast and this museum really helped deepen her appreciation for dinosaurs. This place isn’t the best for kids needing lots of hands-on stimulation (unless they primarily play outside), but it IS great for anyone interested in learning and exploring.
