Dinosaurs at Texas Tech

Museum of Texas Tech in Lubbock. Go on a free dinosaur hunt and find the biggest skeleton.

About this place

The museum is free and sits on the edge of the Texas Tech campus. Its collection reaches far beyond dinosaurs, with art, natural history and the story of the people who lived on the Southern Plains.

If the Moody Planetarium has a show while you're there, it's worth adding. The museum is closed some days and over university breaks, so check the hours before you go.
