</strong></h3> <h5><strong>Duration: </strong><strong>1 Day</strong></h5> <h5><strong>A family-friendly adventure beginning in the Whitney-Audubon District — which is more like a neighborhood, with

<p> </p> <p>You’re just in time to witness history! After more than three years of transformative renovations, the iconic <span style="color: #0cb6c2;"><a style="color: #0cb6c2;" href="https://theshopsatyale.com/listings/yale-peabody-museum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Yale Peabody Museum</span></span></a></span> is open and ready for you. This world-renowned museum is home to over 14 million specimens and objects, including the world’s original <em>Brontosaurus</em>.

It’s a towering reminder you’re inside one of the world’s oldest and largest natural history museums! Part of Yale and New Haven for more than 150 years, the newly renovated Peabody has been reinvented for the 21st century to continue offering cutting-edge research, extraordinary education, and breathtaking exhibitions.</p> <p> </p> <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22503" src="https://theshopsatyale.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/bakery-c.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" srcset="https://theshopsatyale.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/bakery-c.jpg 600w, https://theshopsatyale.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/bakery-c-300x150.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></p> <p>First, fuel up before your walk among the dinosaurs!
