Venture into Yale's exciting natural history museum—the only museum in Connecticut with fossil dinosaur material on permanent display. The Pulitzer Award winning "The Age of Reptiles" mural (slightly outdated, but nevertheless a beautiful work of art in itself) depicts 300 million years of prehistory. Explore the cultures and peoples of the world through exhibits on Ancient Egypt, Mesoamerica, the Andes and the Great Plains, just to mention a few. It is best to visit during non-school hours. Adults: USD5; children, USD3. Parking is available on surrounding streets.

“I love taking my daughter. They have lots of dinosaurs, meteors, plants, etc. A great natural history museum that you can easily spend hours in. It's a new haven landmark that you should visit at least once. They also have revolving exhibits that change a few times per year. Just saw a great exhibit on Macchu Picchu. (Did I spell that right?)”
