The past is alive in this museum. You'll find everything from fossils to an animated 35-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex right out of the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth. As for more recent monsters, there is a 3,000-gallon aquarium with sharks that seem to be waiting for dinner. The learning process is enhanced with multimedia and hands-on displays, as well as live and mounted animals. One of the most popular displays contains live insects, including giant cockroaches. It is located to the Cashman Field.

The Beasties The sharks are real enough: several small species swim inside a 3,000-gallon tank. And don't miss feeding time--what could be
