| Dinosaur Hatchlings |
The
Natural History is the best Museum for your child or grandchild
because an elevated bridge allows you to walk at head-height with
dinosaurs that come to life snarling and glaring at you as you sidle
past. Any question you ever had about these ancient creatures will
be answered here by the many displays.
When
you tire of them, an escalator will take you right through the middle
of planet Earth and deposit you on a floor that demonstrates all the
factors that affect our planet. Graphic displays of Mother Nature at
work building mountains, spewing lava, and using rivers and floods to
sculpt the land give you new appreciation for the changes that can be
wrought over time. Stand in the earthquake simulator, which
duplicated almost exactly the one we had in California one Easter
Sunday, and you will have new empathy for this weather phenomenon's
victims.

David
and I toured the Museum on another cold, rainy day so it was
impossible to picnic lunch, but luckily we discovered that the
restaurant here carried the same delicious and inexpensive food as we
had found at other museums. While the food is good if uninspiring,
you'll love listening to the chatter all around you. There's nothing
more entertaining than a roomful of kids sharing their dinosaur
adventures with their parents!
