Natural History Museum
Children of all ages will love the Natural History Museum with its large variety of push button gadgets and 3D video displays, along with the permanent (and sometimes blood-thirsty) dinosaur exhibition, marked by a giant skeleton of a Diplodocus to greet you upon entry. The gallery boasts a collection of the biggest, tallest and rarest animals in the world, including an enormous life size model of the Blue Whale. Visitors can also visit the hall of Human Biology to learn how their own bodies work. There are the creepy crawlies, a geological museum, a 40 million year old spider, an elephant bird egg, and even an earthquake simulator. One of the best attractions is the Discovery Room for children.
