  What a find. I didn't expect such a nice dinosaur museum and wished I had stopped here before. I would definitely recommend to my friends and return again.

  Very nicely organized and staff were very friendly. They do have some actual dinosaur bones and fossils. However, the vast number of displays are either replicas or printed materials.

  This is a world class Museum. The building is much bigger than it appears. It will take a little while to go through the museum completely but well worth the time.

  My daughter really enjoyed this museum and it is not something you expect to see when in Tucumcari. I thought it was a little expensive but still worth seeing.

  Saw the billboard on the way through so we turned around and stopped in. It was full of neat dinosaur exhibits. Lots of fossils and bones and stuff I never seen before. The kids had a blast.

  My husband and I spent an hour or two here and found it very interesting. There is a lot of information here, beautiful bronzed dinosaur bones/complete dinosaurs and a nice area for children. Many of the fossils were found in the nearby vicinity by the Mesalands CC staff/students. They also have an extensive gift shop with excellent merchandise, great gifts for kids.If you're traveling I 40, it's a short distance off the interstate and well worth your time.

  Relatively cheap to get in, it's a nice little dinosaur museum that I definitely recommend. Lots of cool fossils, casts, models, and statues, many of which depict stuff that lived in the area of Tucumcari! Fun and cute gift shop and definitely worth a stop.

  I really expected more based on the reviews but it was still very nice. I have been to quite a few dino and dino related museums. The displays here were nice and well thought out and some exhibits with touching allowed. In addition, there was a nice are a for the kids to do their learning. Another nice facet of this museum is that there is a window into the research area to watch a expert poke away with dental like picks and brushes. I always learn something when I go to these museums and this one was no different. Life is a continuing learning process if you have an interest.

  Very interesting. I did not know that the dinosaur laid eggs like a bird and had a nest. I was impressed with what I saw.

  Based on reading reviews I knew the museum would be worth the stop. Even so, I was surprised how nicely done the exhibits are. Very educational and interesting; a must-stop for families with dinosaur-loving kids. The bronze-cast fossils are a real class-act, and completely unique from what I've seen. The museum and grounds are very clean, modern, and well-kept.One negative comment, there were no staff or interpreters in the museum. No paleontologists or students were working in the lab on the day we visited. The entire building seemed to be staffed by only two employees at the gift shop who didn't have time to chat or answer questions.
