Hansen
Planetarium - is part of a
nationwide program called
Star Station One
(TM) to provide public information on the International Space
Station (ISS) project. 62 planetarium and museums representing
all 50 states have joined together with NASA and Boeing to keep
you up-to-date on this historic uniting of 17 nations. On
display in the planetarium lobby is a high-fidelity, 1/144 scale
model of the ISS. "Under construction" as part of
Hansen's statewide outreach program is a 1/50 scale model of the
ISS. As each piece of the station is launch and put into place,
this larger scale model will be constructed in assemblies and
classroom discussion around the state, bringing Utah students
closer to this great achievement in space. Hansen will
also be offering public demonstrations and theater presentation
about Star Station One(TM) and the ISS. More information will be
posted here as it becomes available. (801) 532-STAR.
The
Dinosaur Park - lets you wander through the
Dinosaur Age and imagine the Earth when it was inhabited by the
fierce predator Tyrannosaurus rex or the gazelle-like Dryosaurus.
See life-size replicas of the creatures that lived two hundred
million years ago. Realistic sculptures of more than one hundred
dinosaurs fill the Park in a lovely Utah setting. These
creatures are reproduced based on the findings of fossil
skeletal remains. The artists bring the dinosaurs to life by
adding the muscles, skin and coloration, teeth and claws. You
can hear the dinosaurs walking and roaring, the crash of trees
brought down by powerful herbivores, the calls of pterodons
gliding through the air brought to you by a high quality sound
system throughout the Park. (801) 393-3466
Grizzly
Discovery Center - The Grizzly Discovery Center's
primary mission is to provide visitors to the Yellowstone area
an opportunity to learn about, view and ultimately appreciate
the grizzly bear and gray wolf. Grizzly bears that are unable to
live in the wild have a second chance. By helping with the
education of visitors, their lives may help other bears remain
in the wild. The greatest threat to grizzlies and wolves is the
loss of desirable, life-sustaining areas to raise their
families. Wilderness is not a renewable resource. If it is
possible for humans and wildlife to co-exist, we must endeavor
to know as much about their needs to minimize the negative
impacts of our environment. (406) 646-7001
