History
The Flying T, an old rough built building, houses the Dinosaur collection in its rustic Black Hills pine interior. Most of the exhibits were brought out of storage and shipped to South Dakota in July 2014, when renovation of the Flying T began. Restoration is an ongoing process. Touring the Museum allows visitors to discover the past, from the earliest dinosaurs to more recent times.
Specialties
Over 50 life-size exhibits are displayed at the Dinosaur Museum. Mirror Maze, Movie Theater, and Mini-Golf are all free with admission. Birthday parties, events, and group tours are also welcome. Come explore life-like dinosaurs, large and small, from micro-raptors to a full size T-Rex. Finish your experience by shopping for toys, sodas, and cold water in the Gift Shop.
