Last Saturday my parents were here for a visit and we decided to continue on with our A-Zion now that the holidays are over. So we went to this fun museum.
This museum is full of all sorts of "dead" animals but there are so many and they are just beautiful to look at. The founder of the museum was basically a guide and he would take people on all these amazing hunts and he himself would hunt. This is his collection.
It's a little bit of a controversy at our house, I'm okay with killing animals for sport (insert the I'm from Utah joke here) but MaKady is an animal lover and she really had a hard time. She just doesn't understand why anyone would kill an animal unless it was for food, even then she had a hard time. (She is going to be a Veterinarian). There is one display that I thought was particularly disturbing, it's an entire family of skunk. From the momma down to all the tiny babies. ? Seriously ? Not sure about that one, but like I said, fascinating to look at.
They do have a great kids room that we spent a lot of time in. And right next to that an entire room filled with insects. Creepy, but so cool.
It was really great overall and I think even MaKady thought it was cool once she could get past the fact that someone actually hunted and killed all these animals. There are some beautiful displays. If you get a chance to see it, I hope you enjoy it.
