Peabody Kids Cache Traditional Cache

Please Note:  This is designed as a kids cache and the things inside need to be of decent quality.  If you take something, PLEASE trade even or up!  If you are low on trinkets, there is a fine array in the Peabody Museum store.  Go in the front door and tell the guard you are going to the store (on the right) and you can proceed without paying the admission fee.

The Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University is a treasure trove in itself with permanent displays of minerals, fauna, Egyptian life, native American cultures and, of course, the dinosaurs.  There is always something new to see and special events happening year round.  The building that is now known as the Peabody was built in 1924 but founded in 1866 with money from George Peabody specifically to house the dinosaur reconstructions discovered by his nephew renowned paleontologist O. C. Marsh.  These include the famous Brontosaurus who recently got his name back.  The Peabody has some of the best and historically important fossil collections.  The museum is still actively used for study as well as for teaching purposes.

Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday noon to 5.   For more info, go to  http://peabody.yale.edu/visit

This is essentially a park and grab but EXTREME stealth must be used and parking can be difficult on busy days.   

The cache is NOT inside the museum.

Parking:  There is parking along Sachem Street with meters from 8 am to 9 pm Mon through Sat.  They do ticket.  If you choose to go into the museum, there is a lot off of Whitney Ave. Yale lots are open from 4PM to 6AM.
