One of the best museums I've ever been to! It's more than just natural history, as there are many displays of human art from around the world. There is a great sea life display with a gigantic whale, all preserved taxidermy from long ago. There are displays of animals of all kinds, and models of ancient human empires.

Of course everyone knows its famed Dino bone collection, fossils and casts of the most famous dinosaurs, as well as displays on evolution (I never knew the horse was so closely related to the dolphin!) and other very informative things!

And my favorite part is its "Epcot-Like" Planetarium the Hayden Planetarium, which currently runs a great show starring Neil Degrasse Tyson with the latest tech to show the mysteries of the universe, energy, and it's darkmatter. The big bang show below is not to be missed, especially with its unique screen, and the staircase down showcasing just how short human's existence has been by giving a scaled timeline of the universe (and some scale models of planets and the human brain. Down on the ground, there are actual space rocks you can touch. Yes I touched something from space! There are also model ecosystems, and scales to weigh you on other worlds.
