It’s definitely a smaller museum, as others have cited here – but has some interesting specimens and history from Idaho’s history way back when. Worth stopping by and checking out.

Always changing displays and activities. If you have been before you have not seen what is there now. It is also home to many activities around the museum. It has a huge store house of Idaho Fossils.

This is a nice little museum. Small, but what do you expect for $ 5 adult admission($ 1 for K-12). The permanent exhibits are fossils and biological specimens from the area, including skeleton replicas of protoceratops, Utahraptor leg, sabertooth tiger, bison, etc. They also have anthropological pieces on the plains Indians(pottery, jewelry, arrows, etc). They had two special exhibits when I went. One was on the history of Native American service in the US military. The other exhibit, which I found most fascinating, was on Heliocoprion, a genus of extinct sharks with teeth in a buzzsaw pattern. Fossils of Helio species have been found from the Ural Mountains in Russia and across the Western US. Very, very cool.

I love small museums. This is a one of them. The display of the natural history of the area around Idaho, it well presented and well taken care if. The adjoining children’s room is terrific as well. Come on in, it is only going to take an hour or so and worth the trip.
