Delaware Museum of Natural History

Visitors are greeted by a giant squid "swimming" overhead in the glass entrance -- perfect for a museum known for its mollusk and bird collections. (Did you know a squid is a mollusk?) Following a loop, visitors can look up at an Allosaurus, one of Delaware's only dinosaurs, or tiptoe over the Great Barrier Reef exhibit located under the Plexiglas floor. The shell, gemstone, and mineral cases glitter with color and light. In warm weather, take a break on the patio by the butterfly garden. The museum is bound to intrigue the kids.
