Hype:
The Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point first opened in 2000. A group of Utah paleontologists approached Thanksgiving Point with an idea to build a world-class dinosaur museum. Together, they planned and assembled the exhibits of the Museum of Ancient Life, one of the world's largest collections of mounted fossils. The museum's goal was to take collections out of cases and put them into an immersive environment. The museum also features a large movie screen auditorium named the Mammoth Screen 3D Theater. During museum hours, the theater shows large format science films relevant to the museum's collections and exhibition.

Farm Country was shorter than we expected, so we went over to the Museum of Ancient Life and had a fun time there as well. The kids especially like the star tunnel and ran through it a million times.

Savannah went with the Wagners on a trip to Nibley to see the fireflies and participate in Nibley Heritage Days. They also visited the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point on the way.
