About Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum

A 22,000-square-foot museum building sits on a 2-acre property, holding geological, anthropological, and natural history specimens gathered from the Uinta Mountains and the surrounding Uinta Basin. Rather than open land or water, this park centers on an indoor collection documenting the prehistoric record of that region. It has operated in this form since 1948.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
