Massive hands on science museum in Hyde Park. The big draws are a real WWII German U-boat (U-505), a coal mine replica, and the storm exhibit. Plan a full day.

Natural history museum home to SUE, the most complete T. rex ever found. Also has real Egyptian mummies and an enormous taxidermy collection.
