This school is tucked away but a hidden gem of the west. Great little museum to visit. Kiddos and teens will love it..heck you may even find that they want to be come a hardrocker one day.

If you're a hardrock miner (this is why SDSMT was established) visit. Geologists and rockhounds will appreciate it. And your kids who love dinosaurs will go nuts. Since you can't visit the old Homestake gold mine in Lead underground, this is the next best place to go for history IMO.

Very nice Museum. Not sure what to say other than it's worth visiting once. Even learned some Geology while I was.

Bring your kids here. They will love it. It is old school, but that is a good thing. Lots of learning to go on here..and plenty for adults to look at also and learn about. Parking is a hassle, but the price is right! If you like Geology and are in RC, you should go and will be glad you... More

This museum located on the SDSMT campus is free of charge and has an amazing variety of rocks and minerals. South Dakota has some amazing geology and this museum has it all, even expansive dinosaur skeletons.

Several dinosaurs are displayed in shapes that make you think they could come alive at night. Store has selection of plastic play dinosaurs for those kids who already have their T-Rex, along with other kid friendly selections. Nice mineral displays.

Upstairs in a not-so-easy-to-find building on campus of School of Mines & Technology. Lots of full skeletons of long-extinct animals. Fine mineral and fossil collections. Nice gift shop.

The Museum of Geology is definitely worth finding, and the free admission makes it even better. Having seen many gem and mineral collections, we were surprised by the quality and beauty of this collection. Visitors of all ages were enjoying the displays, even if they previously weren't interested in gems and minerals. Bottom line: worth a second visit!

I recently graduated from SDSM&T and have gone to the museum several times. My nieces and nephews were very interested and best of all it's free. If you're in town go stop in and check it out.
