My youngest son wanted to see dinosaur bones all through Spring Break.  I knew the Butterfly Pavilion was open, so finally, on Easter, we took the kids down to Los Angeles to visit the Natural History Museum.  Located in Exposition Park , it s very close to the California Science Center , the LA Coliseum  Sports Arena, and the California African American Museum. louisville kentucky hotel with jacuzzi suites  So if you have a day to spend in LA, you can hit a couple museums, have a picnic at the park and maybe even take the fifteen to twenty minute drive to Roscoe s for chicken and waffles.
It had been about eight year since we d visited the LA Natural History Museum and it had changed quite a bit.  (We normally head north to Santa Barbara.)  The new Dinosaur Hall was pretty louisville kentucky hotel with jacuzzi suites impressive and we spent a good deal of time in the Nature louisville kentucky hotel with jacuzzi suites Lab discovering some of our local wildlife and more recent semi-local history.  The Discovery Lab upstairs has an array of boy friendly live creatures like tarantulas and centipedes, as well as, bones and furs for the kids to handle.  There is a fair bit of taxidermy up there as well, my daughter couldn t resist hugging the polar bear.  While I think Santa Barbara does California History a little louisville kentucky hotel with jacuzzi suites better, my youngest was pretty enthralled with the model of a Spanish ship.  My oldest son always heads for the gem and mineral room, and the museum does not disappoint with it two galleries of over two thousand high quality specimens.  Topped off by the soul food stop at Roscoe s for Dad it was a pretty great afternoon.
