As the mother of a four year old boy, I knew that a trip to see the new Dinosaur Hall exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County was a must.
Both my kids are excited to learn about dinosaurs (as most kids are) and this exhibit did not disappoint! We started our day at the Dinosaur Encounter program, where a "live" T-Rex walks, roars, and even eats right in front of the audience. The kids were amazed and truly believed that they were watching a dinosaur. After the show we made our way to the main Dinosaur Hall.
The"hall" consists of two floors and several rooms full of dinosaur exhibits, many of them hands-on and interactive. My kids loved seeing real dinosaur bones and learning about the different types of dinosaurs. They even got to to touch a real dinosaur toe bone, which was amazing to them and to me!
The Natural History Museum is huge and has so many great exhibits that you would need to spend several days there to see it all. We will be back in the future, but Dinosaur Hall is worth a day by itself.
