Expert notes

Pre-plan your visit; if visiting with young ones, you must check out Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet, Máximo the Titanosaur, 3D movies, and Nature Walk. Quetzalcoatlus, SUE the T. rex, and Photo murals in Abbot Hall of Conservation and Máximo are great places to take selfies or family pictures.
