Denver's Museum of Nature and Science

Today we drove 1.5 hours to Denver to visit Denver's Museum of Nature and Science! Abbie was very excited to be visiting, as she calls it, "A Night in the Museum". It is a big, beautiful museum and we took our time strolling the different galleries!

Colorado is known for its love for nature and wildlife, and we could see the displays of lifelike animals in the displays!



We loved the spectacular real (but dead) dinosaur displays ~ it reminded us of the movie, "Night in the Museum"!
The real (but dead) butterflies and insects were very fascinating too!



Caleb liked the gem displays and asked me to show this post to his teacher, Mrs. Nowell, who taught him and classmates about rocks and gems in 2nd grade.

There was a gallery called, "Health ~ The Mysterious YOU", in which we learned about the human body. It is very interesting to learn about our bodies and how they work together to regulate temperature, move about, and relate to our surroundings!



We had so much fun at the museum!
