We chose to come to the Museum of Geology on a rainy day and found it to be very informative and interesting. The museum has many displays of various types of rocks and fossils - including dinosaurs and other large prehistoric animals. more
My 7-year old son, who is really into rocks, loved this place. They had a very impressive collection of rocks and fossils. The staff was very friendly and indulged my son's request to identify many of the rocks he had collected on our trip. We visited this museum the first day we were in Rapid City and my son kept... more
The Museum of Geology was one of our "rainy day" options for a week-long visit to the Rapid City / Black Hills area. I'm really glad we had a chance to visit this museum! Our two kids (9 & 6) were quite interested in all the exhibits, even if they didn't fully understand many of them. They spent a lot... more
Great exhibits and displays. Very informational. If we had to do it again, I think we would have gone through Rapid City first to see the museum so that we could apply what we saw to our Yellowstone and Grand Teton trips. more

Neat place to visit! Dinosaur fossils, petrified wood, replicas of huge size gold nuggets, glow in the dark minerals - lots of displays! Our favorite was the "flexible sandstone" - you turn a knob and it bends the sandstone but it doesn't break! And it was FREE to get in! more
I visited the Museum of Geology on the SDSM&T campus many times during the nine summers I worked as a seasonal ranger at Jewel Cave National Monument. The museum has first-rate exhibits of Black Hills and Badlands area fossils, including mounted dinosaur skeletons, and of Black Hills and worldwide minerals. Things you won't see elsewhere are a huge block of... more
