I have never seen dioramas, exhibits and artful displays of this caliber other than in large cities. It is unashamedly creationist in view point, but the customer is amply warned before paying. I was fascinated by the detail of the displays and the knowledgable docents that were there when we were. They actually present a good case for intelligent design Would greatly recommend a visit regardless of your personal view point on dinosaurs. Fun for kids
Don't go... Don't vote for this ignorance, and if you go, you are buying into and paying for more lies.
Creationist trying to shove lies down the throats of young children and ignorant adults. Scientific proof we evolved and no, jesus or any other human was not around when T-Rex was around then. This place is based on more made up Christian lies. To those that are sheep and need to be led by a false Shepard then this is for you, the ignorant.
The three year old was awe struck. The museum was set up well. The history and descriptions were explained in detail and easy to understand.
As a kid I loved dinosaurs and it blew my mind that anything could be that old. I did well in school and was always at the top of my class. I loved science and wanted to be an archaeologist. One day I discovered a website displaying an 1854 petrified hat. How could this be, it takes millions of years to do that. I began to look realistically at some of the science presented as fact as a child. I went on 9 archaeological digs searching for answers and wound up in Glendive, Montana digging up dinosaurs and the truth. This museum brings facts to light. A lifetime of searching for the truth (I'm 55 now) and studying has lead me to the conclusion that my early life science education was the real brain washing. This museum lays it out like it is and you can go on digs too !! If you have never looked objectively at the facts, you may be in for a shock. And by the way - ignoring the museum placards is not objective thinking !!Blessings,Charles Michael Lassiter
This museum is anything but your typical museum. My younger children and older children enjoyed it, as much as I did. The exhibits are very well displayed but you get the feeling of being back in time with the way the exhibits are set up with dinosaurs towering overhead and under foot. There are hands on exhibits for the children and adults. The best part for me was leaving the museum with a clearer understanding of myself, life, dinosaurs and our planet. This is truly a gem for the town of Glendive. Don't miss out!
It's a religious based dinosaur museum, the volunteers followed us around, watching us. All the pieces are casts, no real things.
We had no advanced knowledge about this museum. Before we paid the fee, we were told that the descriptions of reptiles would include support for a creationist interpretation and that all fossils were on Earth at the time of Noah and were preserved as a result of the flood. We believe life on Earth evolved over millions of years.Yet, we still paid the modest fee and are delighted we did. No where else have we seen such carefully and realistically displayed dinosaurs and fossils. Every creature included a description and documentation as to where originally found. We passed over any added data that did not jive with our beliefs. The volunteers were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We highly recommend his museum, regardless of your basic beliefs.
They have numerous large, medium and small specimens, all displayed in colorful life-like exhibits accompanied by excellent research documents. Plus a well-stocked library and some films. All on two stories. Plan a few hours to take it all in! Quite impressive. If you walk through with an open mind and leave preconceptions at the door, you might actually enjoy this and begin to see why evolution is more like religion than science.
Extremely beautiful layouts – topnotch all the way. They have some of the best exhibits of any museum in the entire county, but better yet they successfully challenge some the assumptions that we as a society hold dear. It wasn’t until after hearing other opinions that I became aware of the weaknesses in what I had been taught. Take in the awe-inspiring exhibits or challenge your thinking. Either way, it is well worth the trip to beautiful eastern Montana.
