Montana Dinosaur Center

Since 1995, the Montana Dinosaur Center has provided hands-on educational experiences for the public. In short, we think that hands on learning is the best! On our Montana fossil dig expeditions you get to participate in the scientific process! You could find the next new dinosaur species. At our museum gallery in Bynum, Montana we have the world's first baby dinosaur bones ever collected and the Guinness Book of World Records' longest model skeleton - our very own Seismo the seismosaurus.
