Welcome to the Dinosaur Depot, Canon City, Colorado

The Dinosaur Depot Museum is a GEM located in one of the best places in the world to see fossils and the rocks where they are found.  Among our dinosaurs on display, is the world's most complete Stegosaurus!

You can visit the Garden Park Fossil Area where it and many other dinosaurs have been excavated over the last 125 years.  

Explore fossils and how they are found in our Discovery Room. 

Talk with people working on fossils in our Preparation Laboratory.
