Fun and educational for parents and kids.
This is most definitely one of the hottest tourist destinations in the entire city and annually it attracts several million visitors. While not the largest science and nature museum in the country, it has been rated as one of the best, making it must-see when you are in this quant mountain city. Notable exhibits not to be missed include: Ramses II, the Egyptian mummies, North American Indians, and the Imperial Tombs of China.
Why are dinosaurs and spaceships so frickin’ cool if you’re a guy?
Granted I’m not into it like I was as a youngster but I still don’t get bored here. And neither do my sons. Whether youre trying to dock a toy space shuttle (which I haven’t been able to do nor have I seen anyone do it), experience the force of a meteor with a giant steely marble and some sand or are mesmerized by a real Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, you’ll find a couple hours here that are enjoyable to both you and your kids.
Words of advice: as much as your kids will devour real freeze-dried astronaut ice cream, that stuff is repugnant.
