What’s the worst dinosaur or paleontology gallery you’ve been to?

The moment creationists are mentioned it's gonna be instantly bad

Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill just because of the terrariums they keep their reptiles in being too small. Other than that, I haven't been to a "bad" museum.

A place called dinosaur valley near Lublin in Poland. The bruhtosaurus and as my girlfriend called him "skibidi rex" there were also a weird toothed bird creature, pierogi faced styracosaurus and seal headed stegosaurus

I like those 1970s communist-era concrete dinosaurs, but that's partly because I'm interested in old Eastern Bloc monumental architecture. Obviously I'd be disappointed if they'd been made recently. I'm sure I'd enjoy a creationist dinosaur display.
The worst thing I visited was a travelling show of ropey animatronics that was riding on the coat-tails of the first Jurassic Park movie. As I recall, there'd been no effort to give them any terrain or backgrounds. They were just sitting on matt black podiums, shakily rotating their heads a bit.
I haven't visited the Natural History Museum in London for at least 12 years but their dinosaur gallery certainly needed an overhaul back then.

Apparently the NHM in London is getting a revamp in their dinosaur hall

Not a gallery, but this Stegosaurus in front of the Pacific Science Center in Seattle lives rent free in my head.

Wasn't that one of them deleted scenes in The Beatles' Yellow Submarine??

... and T. rex looks like this...

Oh please tell me the mouth moves... 10 points if it gives scripture quotes...

I absolutely adore the Tracy Ulman Era-Simpsons T.rex, and the "Brontrachodontosaurus" ain't bad either. Any attraction/display/park where you can hug the dinosaurs instantly gets an extra star-and-a-half. Not everybody can build strong enough for the gentle caress of childrens' hands.

I visited Dinosaur Valley State Park a few years back in Texas. It's a river with fossilized Acrocanthosaurus footprints and some sauropods as well. Anyways, being in Texas I encountered people the park asking if I'd seen any human footprints alongside the dinosaurs because they needed more evidence for their creationist "museum" across the street that was built as a counter to DVSP. I never visited their museum, however I took one of their pamphlets and it had exhibits of people riding dinosaurs and using them to push logs and such like in the Flintstones.

I think they also claim to have evidence of human footprints alongside dinosaurs. It's been proven to be a hoax. Obviously it doesn't matter to them. I honestly felt kinda bad for the guy who approached me. Nice man, but the human ability to validate pre-conceived beliefs is amazing.
