Plan a afternoon at Colorado's #1 dinosaur attraction while you're in the area visiting the United States Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods and the Royal Gorge.

One of the most interesting destinations you will find in the American West is the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. Located in beautiful downtown Woodland Park, Colorado, RMDRC encompasses 20,000sq. ft. of which 12,000sq. ft. is dedicated to exhibits.  

With more than 30 full size skeletons and life restorations to see, RMDRC is packed with awe-inspiring displays. You’ll find a working paleo lab where ongoing fossil preparation, restoration, molding, casting and mounting can be viewed as part of your tour. 

Of course we have the largest Cretaceous carnivore, our 40 foot Tyrannosaurus Rex. The world's foremost collection of Kansas marine specimens is also on display. Sea Monsters such as a 45 foot Tylosaurus, 17 foot Xiphactinus and 42 foot Elasmosaurus are the stars of the Marine Hall. 

You can wander among the displays on your own but try to take one of the guided tours (no extra charge) with our knowledgeable Visitor Experience Guides. Either way the guides will answer your questions and make your visit a truly educational and enjoyable experience.  

The Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center is home to the largest dinosaur gift shop in the world, Prehistoric Paradise. Almost anything dinosaur or fossil related you can imagine is available here. Visitors can visit the gift shop without paying admission.

  Here are some comments from our recent visitors;

This was our 12yr old grand daughter's idea.  We are so glad she wanted to stop by.  Very interesting and so clean.  Ms. Charotte was very nice and very kind. - Missouri & PA

so come, explore and enjoy our site!
