question for the great traveling brains of friends
Okay, in news unrelated to Pru being the antichrist of fanfic.
In Feb/March I'm getting my tax return and Child's old enough for me to feel comfortable taking him on a trip where he'll enjoy himself. Assuming nothign nightmarish happens to the money, anyway. His thing is science and dinosaurs, so I want to take him to a place that has a really great dinosaur exhibit. If we're talking in the continental US, what would be good? He also likes reptiles, so I was thinking of the San Franscisco zoo, but that's not required, the dinosaurs are the cool thing and he really wants to see them. Any suggestions?

Dinosite! and Guided Hikes take all ages through the desert-like topography of the Badlands (so called by French explorers because the sun-crusted land was bad for farming). Our group hadn't walked very far before we saw a hawk and a sleepy garter snake and found real fossils embedded in the clay.
For serious dinophiles, Day Digs give kids 12 and up a full day working side-by-side with Museum staff both behind-the-scenes and at a dig site. The new Excavate It! lets young teens work with an excavation team in the Badlands using fossil replicas. Parents are welcome. Dino Mites Dino Camp is a one-hour time travel for kids four to six. Summer Day Camps give seven- to 12-year-olds an afternoon of dinosaur adventures. Fossil Casting shows kids four and up how to create a keepsake fossil.
