Welcome to the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum and Field Station
We are closed for the season but we will try to accommodate your visit as we are able. With advance notice and a minimum of 4 paid guests, we will work with one of our volunteers to schedule your visit. Please email or leave a phone message with your details.
The Great Plains Dinosaur Museum is located in the rich land mass of Northeastern Montana where some of the world’s best preserved dinosaur fossils have been discovered. A premier site on the Montana Dinosaur Trail, the GPDM features permanent exhibits of dinosaurs and other prehistoric fossils curated in a natural setting to advance the visitors experience, allowing them to appreciate, enjoy, and fully understand the rich prehistoric history of this region. The Museum also provides the opportunity for both youth and adults to explore, dig, and excavate fossils with Museum staff and paleontologist partners in scheduled laboratory experiences and onsite dig programs.
