For a small town, Thermopolis has a lot to offer—especially if you are Mitch Hegman. I say this because the Wyoming Dinosaur Museum can be found here. Like many people who never quite grew up to be a full-fledged adult, I still retain the fascination I had for dinosaurs as a young boy.
The Museum is especially
impressive in the quality and quantity of specimens on display. Back in 2016, CNN Travel ranked the museum as
number six of the ten best dinosaur museums of the world. The article made special note of the 106-foot
Supersaurus on display.
And there is plenty more than
that. You will also find the skeletons
of Triceratops, Stegosaurus, T-Rex, Velociraptor and host of others on display. Some of the large fossils still partially
embedded in stone are especially impressive to me.
I walked out of the Wyoming
Dinosaur Museum more in awe of the great beasts than when I entered. I still cannot fully fathom the world in which
these strange creatures flourished.
