 Dinosaurs!!
Dinosaur National Monument is in the northwest corner of Colorado near Vernal, Utah. We first visited this area when our children were in their pre-teen years, and it was something that held their interest. We've been back a few times since then and have not been disappointed.
The Visitors Center is a warehouse sized facility that includes a strata that has shifted and tilted upward so a variety of dinosaur bones have been exposed for viewing. It is easy to spend a couple of hours reading the information placards regarding the skeletons right before you.
Many of the dinosaur exhibits in the Smithsonian came from this region.
