Jacob's Review:  They have a real dinosaur head!! It's a Triceratops and it is big!! You can also see 'Chance' the Bear. I think he is on the football team - but he is a real bear not a costume one. And he lives in a big cage with another bear and some toys. You can really go see him when you want to! But you can't feed him or pet him cause he is in a cage.

Dad's Notes:  Oldest continuously ran natural history museum in Texas. This is a nice museum, not too long so great for kids!! Three stories with each floor containing its own theme.
     This fun museum is on a college campus - and is a great way to get the kids to start getting familiar with the idea of going to college, a great way to turn them on to how fun it can be to get a higher education! Of course the added benefit of being located on the Baylor campus means you get a nice stroll through the beautiful campus.
