This popular attraction is the largest Natural History Museum in the world. It is bursting with artifacts, displays and exhibits, all geared to let out secrets about the beautiful natural world. The visit begins with dinosaurs, which welcome you as you enter the main hall. Other points of interest include the Hall of Human Biology and Evolution, the Hall of Meteorites, a vast collection of gemstones, an IMAX theater and the Rose Center for Earth and Space planetarium shows (at extra cost), as well as a research library.

Lose yourself in 10,000,000 yearsof Natural History
Don't know much about history? Well, spend some time here. This is my favorite place in the city -- especially when traveling with kids. Visitors are tranfixed from the minute you walk through the door. Vast, diverse, and totally engrossing.
