Dinosaur Discovery Museum, Natural history museum in Kenosha, United States.
The Dinosaur Discovery Museum is a natural history museum in Kenosha that focuses on dinosaur fossils and life-sized replicas. The collection displays mainly meat-eating theropod species from the Late Jurassic period, with skeletons and models arranged for comparison.
The museum opened in 2006 with a focus on showing how ancient reptiles relate to animals today. The collection has grown over time to better illustrate this evolutionary connection through fossil evidence.
Through educational programs and rotating exhibits, the museum engages local schools and families in understanding the evolutionary link between ancient dinosaurs and modern birds.
The museum is located downtown and offers wheelchair access throughout the building. Visitors should note that some exhibition areas are narrow, and the best times to visit are morning or early afternoon hours.
The museum pays special attention to the anatomy of Carnotaurus and how this species differed from the better-known Tyrannosaurus rex. These comparisons help visitors understand the diversity of meat-eating dinosaurs that is often overlooked.
