Yale Peabody Museum

Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History has a variety of skeletons, fossils, well-preserved taxidermy and awe inspiring gemstones with a few artifacts here and there. It is loads of fun and educational for those that take an interest in nature. It is a great place to visit for children and adults alike. Make sure to give yourself at least 3 hours for soaking up the sights, taking photos and visiting the gift shop! There is a ramp at the entrance and also an elevator for those in wheelchairs. Thursdays between 2pm and 5pm is pay as you please, but I feel that the experience is definitely worth paying full admission for!

This is very nice and very informative museum. It has 3 floors. Lobby or level 1 has dinosaurs and old scripts. Level 2 consists of animals and related to human evolution and level 3 is very beautiful and consists of rocks and minerals. Tells about meteorite, minerals etc. One must visit this museum when in new haven. For kids it is specially very much like activity based as there are people on these floors with creative ways to explain them about the artefacts.

We went with my daughters school and they had so much fun!! Definitely a great way for children to learn. Each and every kid that went was very happy and excited to see everything! I personally loved seeing how the ants carry their food back and forth!
