Otherwise known as the “Nat” (no, not that pesky insect hovering around the bananas), the San Diego Natural History Museum had a humble start. It was the main source of scientific culture for those who were keen to learn about natural resources. Today, the museum has evolved into the post-modern wonder you see today, home to a number of fascinating pieces of history. If you’re still skeptical, all you have to do is to step in and be awed by the rich knowledge carefully stored in the rare books and fossil remains. It’s time to take a step 75 million years into the past, and then slowly make your way to the present.


From mind-boggling animal skulls to the jaw-dropping Megalodon on display, there's bound to be something for everyone. Don't worry, the Meg is just a replica of this prehistoric shark that has fascinated for decades. Keep an eye out for that Allosaurus - he looks like he’s ready to hop past an unsuspecting human. You can find even more fossils at the Fossil Mysteries, where you will find out more about the rich fossil history of Southern California. Up for some heart-pounding excitement? Well, what would you do if you were faced with a deadly viral outbreak? For you escape room enthusiasts, this is the Nat’s very own, promising a thrilling and unique experience. End off your day at the Nat with the Foucault Pendulum, which pretty much made history as visual proof of the fact that the Earth rotates.
