My two boys are at the dinosaur stage and this place just fascinated them. Sue, the huge t-rex was the highlight but there's so much more to this museum than just dinosaurs, if you get the chance to look round!!

The Royal Ontaro Museum is a feast for the eyes! World culture and natural history are both covered and it's a great place to take the kids for the day. I loved the new crystal building which has made such a difference to the museum I visited in the 90s.

The Royal Ontario Museum is great, the building is so pretty, with the Crystal wing particularly stunning. Really interesting attractions too, all round a top notch museum.

I've been obsessed with Cactuses since a small girl and this was such a treat! Amazing! Over 1000 cactus species and other tropical plants too. I was too busy looking at these plants to bother with the Natural History Museum there but my fmily enjoyed it in there!!

Just up the coast from Calpe, a bit of a drive but I couldn't miss it!

This is one of the best museums i've ever been to, so much to see, so interesting and a great mix of ancient plus modern technology kept the kids involved too. Best bits were the Mammal Halls and the Biodiversity Hall. Sadly we didn't have enough time to visit the Planetarium.

Central Park West, 79th Street, subway to 81st Street is pretty close!
