Have an 11yr old...who LOVES and KNOWS Dinosaurs.places to take him?

Question

I have an 11yr old who wants to be a paleontologist. Anyone have any ideas on a place to take him for a vacation? The child knows more than most teachers about the subject so the vacation would need to be, hands on, very in depth. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Either Arizona, Alberta, or Washington, DC.

Arizona: the Painted Desert Grand Canyon area has tons of that stuff, and lots of tours are available.

Alberta: Badlands National Park, and Dinosaur National Park (there's a dig site and museum, they've found some of the largest complete remains in that area)

Washington DC: Museum of Natural History (probably one of the best in the country.)
