Who can resist this excellent museum with an abundance of collections? Don't just go see the excellent fossils in the dinosaur hall - there are many other less crowded interesting exhibits which include the giant blue whale, 'stuffed' gorillas and cheetahs in th Hall of African Animals, a costume of an African Spirit Dancer, a Chinese wedding chair, a hall on the human body. Go see large chunks of gems (look for the Star of India - 563 carats!)and meteorites (always a favorite hide and seek place of the young set), a slice of a giant Sequoia tree, giant dioramas of the insect world, komodo dragons etc. etc.? Plus for an extra charge you can watch IMAX movies or go see the Butterfly Exhibit. Pace yourself accordingly - too much to see in one day!!!
