Be sure to allow some time to discover our lesser known attractions and activities
such as wineries, museums and art galleries, or enjoy some skydiving, ballooning
and horseback riding.
MUSEUMS The Museum of Moab (118 E Center St) is a place where the history
of Moab comes alive for visitors of all ages. The museum features exhibits on local
geology, paleontology, archeology, as well as pioneer history and mining. The Moab
area has also been a popular location for many Hollywood movies. The Moab to
Monument Valley Film Commission’s Movie Museum (located in the lodge near mile
marker 14 on Highway 128) houses memorabilia from early films to present. Moab’s
Dinosaur Park and Museum (intersection of Highways 191 and 313) takes you on
a journey back through time, starting with a 3D cinema that introduces you to the
prehistoric world of dinosaurs. You can then make your own tracks on a half-mile hiking
trail populated with state-of-the-art life-size dinosaurs! The Tracks Museum features
interactive learning touch screens, games to play and visually stunning exhibits.
LOCAL WINERIES Moab’s long growing season coupled with its fertile, sandy
soils has resulted in production of several outstanding wines. Take some time during
your stay to visit the Castle Creek Winery (435-259-3332) for award winning vintages
and the Spanish Valley Vineyards & Winery (435-259-8134) for Estate Wines.
ADDITIONAL FAMILY ACTIVITIES Moab has many facilities and
activities that are perfect for families. Enjoy a swim at the Moab Recreation and
Aquatic Center (374 N Park Ave) or in Ken’s Lake (8.5 miles south of Moab off Highway
191). Burn off some energy at the Moab Skate Park (400 North 199 West), climb some
rocks at Moab’s Boulder Park (located in Lion’s Park at the intersection of Highways
191 and 128) or enjoy a picnic at one of our city parks. If you are traveling with your
dog, consider a stop at the Moab Bark Park (300 South 100 East) for some quality
recreation time with your pet. The Moab area has numerous examples of Indian
rock art, all accessible with a passenger car and a short walk. Please protect these
irreplaceable sites. Visit discovermoab.com or stop by the Moab Information Center,
on the corner of Main and Center Streets, to get information regarding the location of
rock art sites and all of the attractions and activities that Moab has to offer.
AERIAL ADVENTURES A scenic airplane, helicopter, or balloon flight over
the Moab area can be the perfect complement to any vacation. A birds-eye view
of our unique terrain is an ideal way to put your entire visit into perspective. Moab’s
spectacular canyon country is also the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable
skydiving experience! If you want to soar through the air but prefer to remain
attached to the ground, try a zip lining tour over some of Moab’s beautiful canyons.
HORSEBACK & MULE RIDING For a truly authentic Western experience,
nothing beats touring our rugged desert from atop a cowboy-trained quarter horse or
mule. From early settlers to John Wayne himself, there is no better way to experience
the Wild West for yourself. Check out our Guides & Outfitters section for a list of
companies that offer trail rides.
