With its wealth of Native American culture, active dinosaur digs and fascinating geological formations found at five national parks in the southern part of the state, it makes perfect sense that Utah should be home to one of the country’s finest natural history museums. Enter the stylish building to see colorful Navajo basked, beaded Paiute jewelry, and a whole floor devoted to dinosaurs. You can even peer through a glass window and watch a paleontologist clean off the fossilized bone. Not surprisingly, the museum fills up with schoolchildren, so try to get here when the doors open.
