Review by Ersin Ozer
The Museum of the Rockies will always hold a special place in the hearts of families across the country. Since my kids were babies, this place has contributed to their educational development and still inspires them today with school fieldtrips and regular weekend visits; we learn new things with every outing.
The museum has a robust schedule of programming including weekly classes for pre-school aged children, specialized events (such as “Dinosaurs and MOR” dedicated to junior paleontologists to-be), and special appearances and lectures by academic professionals.
Museum of the Rockies provides the perfect mix of play and learning environments for kids and adults. For young visitors, the Explore Yellowstone exhibit is an engaging environment that lets them be active while taking control of their own learning. For the grownups, the museum’s members-only events can provide a fun night out and a great way to hear more about what goes on behind the scenes – all in addition to the museum’s fresh, rotating exhibits.
A Museum of the Rockies membership can also be used for entry to over 300 other museums across the country, a great benefit for families who travel. At the top of Santa’s list, this is the perfect gift for all families – whether parents with littles, or grandparents who like to experience this with their grandchildren and pass on the legacy of learning.
