Travel insights and tips on some of the top attractions and best cities in the world

Some museum exhibits ask you to imagine what prehistoric life looked like. The Morian Hall of Paleontology shows you. Tucked inside the Houston Museum of Natural Science, this 30,000-square-foot hall holds more than 450 fossils and over 60 major skeleton mounts, arranged so that the animals seem caught mid-motion rather than parked behind glass.

Planning a family trip to Disneyland is exciting, but it's no secret that vacation costs can add up quickly. That's why Disneyland® Resort's limited-time Kids' Summer Ticket Offer is getting plenty of attention from families looking for ways to save on a summer getaway.

Consider this your guide to the best museums in New York City, with practical pointers on what each one does best, who will love it most, and how much time to budget.

Summer evenings in Seattle sound a little different once the music drifts across the grass at Woodland Park Zoo. Each year, the zoo's North Meadow becomes an open-air stage for the ZooTunes summer series, where you can spread out a blanket, watch the sky turn pink, and hear live music with the animals as neighbors.

Few day trips deliver the awe of standing beneath a towering Saturn V rocket or coming face-to-face with a spacecraft that actually orbited Earth. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, on Florida's Space Coast about an hour east of Orlando, turns decades of NASA history into a hands-on adventure.

Zoo Atlanta sits within historic Grant Park, where more than 1,000 animals call its 40-plus acres home. A visit here can fill an entire day, from watching elephants roam the African Savanna to spotting one of North America's largest gorilla populations in the Ford African Rainforest. Reptile and amphibian fans gravitate toward the Scaly Slimy Spectacular complex, while families with younger children find plenty to love in the Treetop Trail, the zoo train, and the seasonal splash pad.
