Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm

On Memorial Day we went to St. George Utah to see Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm. Thousands of dinosaur tracks were found on the farm. We drove about 2 hours to see fossils of dinosaur tracks. I thought there would be more to it than that, but we were disappointed. Most of the fossils we couldn’t make out what they were even with signs saying things like “tail drag” and “mud cracks.” The highlights were the 8 minute video, gift shop, and the sandbox outside.

Alex loved the sand box and did not want to leave. He wanted Frank and me to be paleontologists with him. The sand box was an Eagle Scout project and under the sand were dinosaur tracks for the kids to discover. It also had shovels, pails, shifts, and brushes.

The drive was nice. We really enjoyed being together. Alex also enjoyed a couple of new dinosaur toys. Despite our disappointment with the Dinosaur Discovery it was a real nice day.
