Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, New Haven

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.

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 a New Haven treasure, that is beloved by generations. I was fortunate enough to take my son prior to the renovations. I am excited to see what changes the museum will hold. I always enjoy the special exhibits they host and was excited to see the Mesopotamian, California Gold and especially the Mineral and Gem exhibits and as always the Dinosaurs.

I would like to start with few important things: 1. They have plenty of parking and it’s FREE even in downtown. 2. I went on Thursday and it’s open to public on that day. I’m not too sure if it’s free for rest of the days. 3. Friendly staff and museum is well-maintained. 4. Museum is spectacular! You can almost everything in the museum. Animals, Birds, Minerals, Human Species and many more.

Wonderful place! Hands down! When I visited this museum the first thing that came to my mind was “the night at the museum” movie. The experience was so exhilarating and there are different sections in museum which makes it a complete tour of history, galaxy and earth. I would love to ho again. For students the entry fees was only 6 dollars.
