I made my parents take me to this museum too many times too count when I was little. It’s simply an amazing place… very inspiring for an impressionable child to see the history of such a seemingly barren place come so alive. They really impress upon you how complex and diverse the history of life on Earth has been, and are very proactive in trying to give you a hands-on experience into how the paleontologists do their work here. Do a day dig if you can!

And as I have noted previously, the curator, Phil Currie, was my childhood hero.
