They thinks global at the National Science Museum!

You will be blown away by the scale of the exhibits that include stuffed birds, mammals, dinosaur fossils and skeletons!
There are interesting hands-on exhibits at the National Science Museum!
The Earth Museum on the second floor is dedicated to “exploring Earth’s science and technology.” Its observation station is updated with near real-time information about Earth from satellites. For example, they show temperature and geomagnetic fluctuations from around the planet. You can place your hand on the big screen and interact with the video and have a future film-like experience. Parents and children can enjoy exploring the 3rd floor together where they can see (from various angles) the skeletons of Tyrannosaurus Rex and other stuffed animals. (Admission is required.
