I'm going to Yellowstone National Park for the 4th of July and I was wondering for reccomendations for paleontology museums.
I was planning to go to either the Wyoming Dinosaur Center (because it was named #1 dinosaur museum in the US by America's Best and Top Ten) or the Museum of the Rockies (largest Tyrannosaurus rex skull in the world and Jack Horner!). Any suggestions can be posted bellow, but it has to be near Yellowstone. Thanks a lot! ;D

I've been to both museums you listed and they are both awesome. Although I liked the Museum of the Rockies a little better. But while in yellowstone do take a hike to the petrified forest. It is incredible with trees of stone still standing like they used to. |

I was just at my local zoo and bought the new Safari Ltd. Kaprosuchus and the guy who sold asked if I was doing anything this summer so I said I was going to Yellowstone and a dinosaur museum. He then told me about the world's largest dinosaur museum located in Jackson Hole. He also said the was a full Brachiosaurus skeleton in it. All I found was the Museum of Ancient Life and was wondering if that was the world's largest dinosaur museum. If not, could you please tell what museum he was talking about.

Yup that's the one. But it's in salt lake not Jackson hole. And they do indeed have a Brachio mount. And a Seismosaur too boot.

And a Seismosaur too boot. Diplodocus, surely? |
