Already marvelous, worth the wait for renovations
I used to love coming to this extensive, detailed, and fascinating museum. They have large collections and exhibits on human evolution, dinosaurs, minerals, ancient Egypt, and various animals, all of which are well-curated and clearly well cared-for. They also have interesting temporary exhibits (back when the Rudd Center was here, they had an exhibit on food ingredients). This museum is currently closed for renovations and is expected to reopen in early 2024, although in the meantime, they have an @Home site where you can learn about their exhibits and do some hands-on activities from the comfort of your home. I look forward to seeing their newly renovated space!

A good place for kids
Peabody museum is the best museum in New Haven. Kids enjoyed it very much. After my visit in January, it was closed for renovation and I hope it has more to offer after that.
