If you’re visiting London, go to the Natural History Museum. This museum makes the list because it’s home to a fossil of the Iguanodon, which is among the first dinosaurs ever discovered! The Natural History Museum of London also houses fossils of a Baryonyx, a T. Rex, and the most complete Stegosaurus skeleton.

United States: Field Museum

Located in the Windy City of Chicago, this museum was once the home to Sue, the world’s largest and most complete T. Rex! But that’s not all—you can also look at some true-to-form molds of these Mesozoic beasts. While here, you can also enjoy a 3-D film that’ll teach you more about Sue the T. Rex and the fascinating history of the Jurassic Period!

Japan: Fukui Dinosaur Museum

The Fukui Dinosaur Museum is one of the top places in Asia to see these creatures of the past. One of the coolest things about it this museum is that it’s not far from a real excavation site!
