A nice “touristy” thing to do close to Denver. Under 2 hours to see it all. The bus guide was great and full of information. Really cool to see wether you like dinosaurs or not.

Although we couldn't stay to take the tour shuttle, we had fun looking through the shop.Great collection of rocks, at very reasonable prices.I believe reservations are requested for the shuttle.
