Thanksgiving Point is having $2 Tusdays in August for most of their attractions, including the gardens and the Museum of Ancient Life, more commonly referred to as the Dinosaur Museum. Mckay and I had never been but have wanted to go. Since the summer term of classes has ended and the fall semester classes won't start for another week, Mckay has been able to spend a lot more time at home with Dallin and I and it's been a lot of fun. So I figured Tuesday would be a perfect time to see the Dinosaur Museum. It's only $2 and daddy can come too! I think every other mother and her kids in the state of Utah were thinking the same thing. When we got there in the morning, there was a line wrapped around the building just to buy tickets. And when we got inside it didn't get much better. There were soooo many people, and so many little kids running around. We had Dallin in a stroller and, of course, there were a lot of other strollers, making it really difficult to get around and see things with all the bulky strollers in the way. And then there were groups of older people being pushed around in wheelchairs. If you got stuck on the wrong side of the wheelchair caravan, it was a long time before it opened up to allow you to move. Despite the crowd, we had a fun time and got to see some really interesting things. I would like to go back another time when it's not so busy so I can really enjoy myself.
This is how Dallin watched the dinosaurs
He did wake up to see some of them
but I think this one really wanted to play with Dallin.
There is still one more $2 Tuesday for the month of August, in case you were thinking about going. It might not be as busy now that most kids are back in school. If you do plan on going, get there early, even before it opens to avoid the huge line. If not, wear comfortable shoes. You're gonna be walking quite a distance from your parking spot.
