    I absolutely loved all of the fossils of the prehistoric animals and overall the place is amazing. If you can, try to call ahead and see if their are any field trips going through the day you want to go cause little screaming kids can echo through many hallways.

    A true gem in the crown of New Haven! Interesting exhibits on tour. Nice natural history section. For the bargain hunter - all you have to do is go to your library card for the peobody museum pass and you'll save a lot!
