Wyoming Dinosaur Center
About Wyoming Dinosaur Center
The Wyoming Dinosaur Center is located in East Thermopolis, Wyoming and is one of the few dinosaur museums in the world to have excavation sites within driving distance. The museum displays the Thermopolis Specimen of Archaeopteryx, which is one of only two real specimens of this genus on display outside of Europe.
Fifteen minutes from the museum are its many dig sites, located on Warm Springs Ranch. More than 10,000 bones have been discovered and excavated, most of which are either on display or stored just down the hill at the museum.
