There has recently been a bunch of publicity about the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, PA and it's re-vitalized display of 2 T-Rex skeletons... and more.
We were there many years ago, and it was excellent then.

The Smithsonian Natural History Museum in DC has a large dinosaur exhibit. Best part: it's free.

Those sound like really great sites. We've been to some of them, too. On our trip to South Dakota in 2005, after Dinosaur National Monument, we traveled across the Rockies to Rocky Mtn. National Park, then north and east to the Black Hills. We also stopped by The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs and then went to the Black Hills Institute of Geologic Research in Hill City. That was a surprise and more than I expected from the outside. If you're visiting the area stop in Hill City at the institute.
After the Black Hills, we went off road and traveled to the Hudson-Meng Bison Kill Site & Museum near Crawford in Northwestern Nebraska and then to nearby Toadstool Geological Park.
We had planned to go the the Denver Museum of Nature & Science but got side tracked and had to get new tires for the Saturn in Colorado Springs.
In the Colorado Springs area the Garden of the Gods was a unique geological park and someone already mentioned the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland, CO. That was great, too. On the way to Great Sand Dunes we stopped off at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument off route 24 near Mueller State Park in Colorado. They had great displays of fossil plants and insects and other stuff, well worth the stop.
I've been setting up a gallery at the Kodak website with photos from this trip. It's taking more time than I thought, but as soon as I get it up, I'll post the address for you all to look at.
Keep the list going, there are sites here I've never heard about!

Fossil Butte NM in Wyoming is another neat place. You can actually observe the fossils being excavated.

Fort Peck Lake in NE Montana has a new Interpretive center with a complete T-Rex that was found right in the Badlands Hell Creek Formation. Highway 2 in NE Montana has lots of palentology sites to explore. Google Fort Peck Lake,
