My parents and I were visiting Ogden, Utah and on a Friday
that was a rather hot day in the 90s we visited the George S. Eccles Dinosaur
Park. First we went inside and paid our admission fee. This park has an inside
and outside part. We decided to go to
the outside part first and figured after we got hot outside we could go inside
and cool down.
Outside had a main path
around with dinosaurs to look at including a T. Rex, a stegosaurus, a triceratops,
a pterodactyl, a brontosaurus and my favorite the Ankylosaurus. There were also
a bunch of grassy areas with trees and some shade here and there.
There were
also a few trails that went off the main loop. I went down one and I wish I
hadn’t as part of it was a turn that was really steep and a little bit
nerve-racking trying to drive down it.
There were also dinosaur footprints that
were fascinating to look at. After a
while outside we were hot so we went inside.
We walked through a decent sized room with dinosaur skeletons. After checking that out we then went upstairs
where they had a gem and mineral display. I really enjoyed this and especially
the colored gems of various colors purple, green and orange plus some that
looked fuzzy were interesting to me. After a while here we were tired so we
rested a bit in the parking lot and then left and headed for dinner.
I had quite a day at
the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park although I wish it wasn’t so hot. I really enjoyed looking at all the dinosaurs and
being outside as well as checking out the skeletons and gems and minerals
inside.
