Best Museums in Moab for Kids & Families

Looking for the best museums in Moab for kids? As red rock adventure base camp for two national parks, Moab offers interactive exhibits and hands-on learning that families won't find anywhere else. Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

The best children's museums aren't quiet places where kids can't touch anything — they're the opposite. Look for hands-on exhibits, maker spaces, and outdoor play areas attached to the museum. In Moab, expect hot summers (100F+), cold winters — spring and fall are the sweet spots. Pro tip: Arches requires timed entry reservations in peak season. Dead Horse Point is less crowded and equally stunning. Bring more water than you think.

Below you'll find our curated list of museums in Moab, UT — each with detailed age ratings (infants through teens), cost estimates for a family of four, and the practical parent details that matter: parking, stroller access, nursing rooms, and honest reviews of what makes each spot worth your time.
