Natural History Museum of Utah, the state’s official museum of natural history, is a mid-sized cultural and scientific institution based in Salt Lake City. It presents science through Utah’s landscape and houses more than 5,000 artifacts on display, including paleontological finds, globally sourced gems and minerals, artifacts from Utah’s prehistoric peoples, and narratives from five Native nations within the state. Visitors encounter immersive experiences such as a three-story indoor canyon and galleries on Utah’s dinosaurs and animal life, along with interactive exhibits about earthquakes, erosion, and landscape change over time. The site offers an observatory deck, opportunities to hike the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, and a dedicated space for younger children called Our Backyard. Amenities include a Café and a Museum Store offering nature-inspired gifts.
