The whole family will have a great time exploring the Natural History Museum of Utah! The museum is an architectural marvel and a case study in ”green” design created by community generosity. The 163,000 square feet Rio Tinto Center is located in the foothills above Salt Lake City. With amazing exhibitions, the museum’s mission is to illuminate the natural world and the place of humans within it. Don’t miss the wonderful permanent exhibits including Sky, in which weather, climate, astronomy, dark skies, and the sun are interpreted; Native Voices, Land, and more!
