ROM one of the 10 best places to see dinosaurs

USA Today released a list of the top 10 places to see dinosaurs in North America, and Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum made the cut.
 
The article states:
 
"Canada's fifth largest museum houses some six million objects, including an extensive collection of fossils and the largest mounted dinosaur in Canada. Plan to spend a full day at this family-friendly attraction in Toronto."
 
The ROM has been in the news a lot this summer, most notably for the collaborative discovery of a new small dinosaur species. The discovery of Acrotholus audeti was in partnership with the University of Toronto and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History when a team discovered the new species in Alberta.
 
The ROM also is also expanding its permanent dinosaur exhibit to include a previous new species discovery, the Albertadromeus syntarsus. This species was also discovered in Alberta and is described as a "a quick-footed plant-eater the size of a turkey."
