There are a lot of collections of stones, Dinosaurs, ice age creatures , and American animals! Buy one ticket to visit natural history and art museum. You would spend whole day here but it's not enough.

Awesome experience! I spent the entire day exploring all of its floors. The dinosaur exhibits are the best I've ever seen and meticulously detailed. The story about Carnegie's purchase of "Dippy" and the laying of railroad tracks into the museum's basement is entertaining. All the exhibits are well laid out and feature a wealth of information. I very much appreciated and enjoyed learning about native American culture and people.

I have always enjoyed my experience coming to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History at least every other year if not yearly. I enjoy sharing these same experiences my children now. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 star review is because of my experience today with a staff member. I don't expect the staff to know everything about everything, all I expect as a visitor is that staff can at least assist to point you in the right direction for your answers or be honest. But today there were 2 staff members in the dinosaur area and I had a simple question about how the area had changed from when I was the age of my 6 year old daughter and nephew and only asked the staff so I knew what I was telling them was correct time frame for the museum's changes to that exhibit. The lady at first didn't understand my question before jumping to just begin to read an exhibit sign, so I repeated my question before I tried stating it differently, because she wasn't understanding or even trying to listen to what my question was before starting to answer. The other staff member assisted with the answer once he understood what I was asking after multiple attempts and I thanked him and appreciated both their time but before I could finish the lady started lecturing me on mask placement on my face because although I was covered nose to mouth, it was starting to possibly come down and she just wanted to prevent me from being told to fix it later.If the lady would have just taken the time to understand my question or if she didn't know the answer just let the gentleman staff member answer, I wouldn't have had to repeat myself through the mask because she kept interrupting or jumping to get own conclusions. The way she was lecturing me on future saving me if it does go below my nose as if I was a child or just a person that beneath her apparently who shouldn't have spoken to her in the first place or just accepted her incorrect responses rather then making her look ridiculous in front of her gentleman coworker she clearly wanted to continue talking with.After that encounter the gentleman staff member continued his walk through leaving the lady to her area, she just kept a distance but close eye and watch of me as if I was some kind of threat. I told her I wouldn't be asking anymore questions in that exhibit so there would be no way my mask would get so much wear and tear to just fall off my face.So to that lady treating visitors in front of their children like they are dirt because she couldn't answer my question, I hope you find new employment opportunities soon and find your place in life because it definitely isn't here.
