The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History opens a window of discovery into our world’s natural heritage–its animals, plants, geology and people. From a real Brontosaurus skeleton to a beautifully preserved 2500 year old Egyptian mummy, the Peabody Museum’s captivating exhibits have something for everyone! The Discovery Room includes a live leaf-cutter ant colony, poison dart frogs, bearded dragons, and many other live animals, in addition to hands-on opportunities with touchable objects and specimens. Each year, the Yale Peabody Museum offers discounted group visits to more than 25,000 visitors from throughout the Northeast, including thousands of campers each summer. Make a day of it – lots more to see on the Yale campus and around New Haven! Scavenger hunts for the whole museum or specific halls available upon request.
