I can confirm the Field Museum. I live an hour away and have been there many times. It completely spoiled me as a child, and most other museums have been a disappointment. That said, I haven't been to any others on the list, so I don't know how it compares to them. I have wanted to go the AMNH for a looong time, and the Royal Tyrell museum as been high on my list for almost as long.

Royal Tyrell Museum contributed to the fact I still love dinosaurs, forever and always.
Obviously this reviewer had never come to Cleveland. *^^*

The Natural History Museum at the Smithsonian has a really good dinosaur exhibit. Surprised they didn't put that museum in there.

I was just there in May and was super disappointed. >_> It had a Triceratops, a Tyrannosaurus, a few other small fossils, and little else. Their minerals section had more content than the dinosaur section. :/

Did you go to the Hall of Mammals exhibit or the Oceans exhibit?

OP
We did see a bit of the ocean exhibit, but not the mammals. It was our second stop of the day and so didn't have a lot of time. We saw the skeletons, the gems and minerals the teeny tiny Egypt "section" and the dinosaurs.

Ah. Well, next time you go there. Check out the Mammals exhibit. It's really good.
