Dinosaur Files

I am looking for places take my five year old such as dinosaur parks and ancient history museums. HELP!?

My daughter stated that she wants to see real dinosaur bones, but my parents are disabled and unable to make the trip in the heat to the La Brea Pits. Can anyone help me locate a museum or exhibit that is closer? It doesn't have to be elaborate, just exciting to a five year old (who is excited by SpongeBob, if you get the idea!!!) Thank you for all inforamation that can be sent over. I only have a few days to plan something and never thought it would be this hard!!' Jamie

1. you didn't mention where you live.

3. Where do you live?
4. u didnt say where u live but if u live in FL u could try dinosaur world or mosi
5. Here are some sites to look at for the LA area you can see if there is a handicap friendly one for your parents.
6. you can visit the : The Natural History Museum l900 Exposition Boulevard, in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, CA. (213) 763-DINO or (213) 744-3466 Looking very much like the set from 2007's "Night at the Museum" (complete with T-Rex skeleton at the entrance and halls of wildlife dioramas behind glass), the Natural History Museum is the largest and most impressive of the museums located in Exposition Park. It is also the oldest; it opened back in 1913. Among its various large exhibits, you'll find Dinosaur Hall, showcasing monstrous fossil skeletons of Tyrannosaurus Rex, stegosaurus, and their kin (a must for "Jurassic Park" fans), a Native American Cultures room (which will tell you a bit more than "Dancing With Wolves" did about American Indian history), the Great Hall of Birds (with animatronic figures), the sparkling Gems and Minerals Hall, a live insect zoo, a hands-on Discovery Center for kids, a giant Hall of American History, two massive hallways lined with spectacular wildlife dioramas, and even a genuine Egyptian mummy, named Pu, from 300 BC.
