1. Museum of Osteology

This is an attraction that is perfect for those who are fascinated with bones! The museum contains more than 350 skeletons from all around the world. The exhibits may be a little confronting for small children (due to the detail of each individual skeleton); however, older kids will love it! Kids can also learn about the different bones in their body, how muscles attach to bones and even see a life-size model of a stegosaurus.
