A really cool and classic museum with a few modern updates. To be fair I mostly came here to visit the “The Age Of Reptiles” mural. I heard they had renovated since my previous visit and after seeing what happened to the Smithsonian Dinosaur exhibit I worried about the loss of such a glorious work of art due to it nolonger being scientifically accurate. But no, the Mural remains and I actually quite like the updates and expansions of the museum. My only real complaint is the kinda underwhelming gift shop. Pretty much all they had was mugs, posters, keychains, books and apparel along with some expensive “glass case” stuff. They didn’t even have any toys! Kids love dinosaurs so What kinda Dinosaur Museum gift shop doesn’t have toys?! Especially one with free admission. Other than that it’s a Nice museum with cool exhibits, classic dioramas, Free admission and a really cool and famous piece of classic paleo art in the dinosaur exhibit and you don’t have to pay to get in. Definitely worth checking out and I would gladly come back.

Amazing place. It's unbelievable that it's free admission. The museum has recently had a renovation So much time, money, and effort was invested in obtaining ang displaying them so many unique and wondrous exhibits, but then there's the way in which the the entire museum is laid out with artistic architecture and efficient, and captivating presentations which tend to enlighten asceell asvamaze. avoid traffic jams. The atmosphere is a unique combination of lighting, arrangement, and an eye for capturing ones attention no matter which way they happen to be looking Youll find full-scale replicas and actual skeletal remains of ancient creatures, fossils, an incredible geology exhibit, ancient human, and pre-human remains and artifacts. So much to see. If you enjoy museums ( especially natural history museums,) this ought to give hours of enjoyment. you'll be very glad that you made the trip. Book online. It's free and it helps to avoid traffic jams in the museum by assigning arrival times. Enjoy!

My husband, my 8 year old daughter and I went to the Yale Peabody Museum yesterday, which was Wednesday. This way it wouldn't be too crowded. When we got there, the museum parking was full, so we had to find a place on the street. Some of the meters were reserved and almost all of the streets you need a permit to park. We had tickets for 11:00, but we spent 20 minutes driving around trying to park. Luckily, we found a spot that didn't require a permit or have a meter. When we finally got to the museum, it was worth it. All of the things that were on display were amazing and beautiful. There were people at the museum, but with enough space to walk around without bumping into anyone. The parking is a nightmare if you don't get a museum parking spot, but we enjoyed the museum. When we are in New Haven again, we'll be back.

Great museum. They have many exhibit that really worth the trip to visit. They have a large exhibit for rocks and minerals as well. The large dinosaur fossil is the main attractions here. They also have a live ant exhibits where you can see how the ants works together to carry their meals. It is amazing. They used to have the Machu Pichu artifacts in display there, but the gave it back to the Peruvian government. Yale scientist back then in early 1900 discovered the ruins of Machu Pichu, with local corporations he gather some artifacts back here to be on display at the museum back on early 1900. So the museum itself has been established very early in around 1900 periods. Great treasure to have in New Haven. Being your kids here, they will be amazed.
