North Carolina Museum of Natural SciencesThe North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences has recreated a
series of natural environments, complete with living animals and a
20-foot-high (6m) waterfall, through which visitors can walk and
discover North Carolina's diverse geography, geology, plants and
animals. The museum is also home to Willo, a 66-million-year-old
dinosaur skeleton, the only one in the world with a fossilized
heart. Other dinosaurs are also on display, as is one of the
world's finest great whale skeletons. The Afro Café serves tasty
breakfasts and lunches.
