Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman is open Sunday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (museumoftherockies.org) The museum’s main campus site says visitors can see paleontology, natural and cultural history, and astronomy exhibits in one stop at 600 W. Kagy Blvd. on the Montana State University campus. (museumoftherockies.org 1) (museumoftherockies.org 2) Its best-known draw is the Siebel Dinosaur Complex, where the museum says visitors can view Montana’s T. rex, one of the few mounted Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons in the United States. (museumoftherockies.org) The same dinosaur halls include “Big Al,” a nearly complete Allosaurus from the Jurassic Period, along with dinosaur eggs, babies, and prehistoric mammals including mammoths and rhinos. (museumoftherockies.org) Museum of the Rockies says it maintains six primary exhibits and rotates two to three changing exhibitions each year. (museumoftherockies.org) One of those changing shows now on view is “FROGS – A Chorus of Colors,” an exhibit created by Clyde Peeling’s Reptiland that examines frog biology, ecosystems, and threats in a changing world. (museumoftherockies.org) For families with young children, the homepage highlights Explore Yellowstone in the Martin Children’s Discovery Center. The museum also lists the Taylor Planetarium, which has a 40-foot dome and 110 reclining seats.

(museumoftherockies.org) General admission discounts listed on the visit page include 10% off for AAA members and active military personnel, while Taylor Planetarium shows cost $5 for non-members age 5 and older. (museumoftherockies.org) For Sunday visitors, the practical takeaway is simple: the doors are open until 5 p.m., and the headline attractions are dinosaurs, regional history, children’s exhibits, and the planetarium.
