点评:We hadn’t planned on visiting the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center, but after seeing the sign on our drive back from Florissant, we decided to stop—and we’re so glad we did! As two adults in our mid-30s with no kids, we found the museum very interesting and enjoyable.
The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made our visit even better. One of the highlights was learning about the fossil excavation and restoration process—understanding how dinosaur fossils are removed, transported, and preserved was fascinating. The working fossil lab was an unexpected treat and one of the coolest parts of the visit!
That said, there’s a lot of reading, and we did hit reading fatigue after a while. But even with that, the exhibits were engaging and well put together. The museum was quiet when we visited (on a weekend), making it easy to explore at our own pace.
It’s a bit out of the way from Colorado Springs, but definitely worth the drive, especially if you’re already in Manitou Springs or Florissant. Admission was reasonably priced, and parking was free and easy in the adjacent lot. The museum itself was well-organized and accessible.
If you're a dinosaur lover or just curious about fossils, this is a great stop!
翻译:我们原本没有计划参观落基山恐龙资源中心,但在从弗洛里森特回来的路上看到标志后,我们决定停下来——我们很高兴我们这么做了!作为两个 30 多岁没有孩子的成年人,我们发现这个博物馆非常有趣和令人愉快。
工作人员非常友好和乐于助人,这让我们的参观更加愉快。亮点之一是了解化石挖掘和修复过程——了解恐龙化石是如何被移除、运输和保存的,这很有趣。化石实验室的工作是一个意想不到的惊喜,也是参观中最酷的部分之一!
话虽如此,阅读量很大,我们过了一段时间确实感到阅读疲劳。但即便如此,展品仍然引人入胜,组织得很好。我们参观时(周末)博物馆很安静,让我们可以轻松地按照自己的节奏探索。
这里离科罗拉多斯普林斯有点远,但绝对值得一去,特别是如果你已经在马尼图斯普林斯或弗洛里桑特了。门票价格合理,停车免费,而且在相邻的停车场很方便。博物馆本身组织良好,交通便利。
如果你是恐龙爱好者或只是对化石感兴趣,这里是个不错的选择!
