You can easily spend a bit of time in here. I really went for the earthquake simulator and it was an interesting experience. It was very interesting to experience what a 5 Richter earthquake feels like in different situations. But it was overall a nice way to spend an afternoon.

A great place to increase your knowledge about lots of animal species including dinosaurs. It makes it more interesting for families. Estimate around 3 hours for a full round. It is definitely worth it. There is discount for families with 3 kids and more. Unfortunately, no parking is provided. Don't hesitate to visit the earthquake educational simulator!

Great experience! It has all sorts of things like dinosaurs, animals with explanations about them and their natural habitats, light and sound experiments, etc. There is even an earthquake simulator. The personnel was also very polite and very helpful.

Went on a rainy day in October. Staff are friendly and helpful. But there’s really not a lot to do. The museum is quite dark - unnecessarily so, and we barely spent an hour in there bc there’s hardly any exhibits. The children’s area was quiet with no activities and broken displays. We enjoyed the optical illusion exhibition. The main redeeming factor was the earthquake simulator which seems to run at certain times, not just all day so be aware of that. It’s quite a high price (20 Euros for 2 adults and 1 child) considering how little there is. Overall I was disappointed. I’d suggest give it a miss and go to the archaeological museum instead.

A perfect place if you travel with kids. My daughter 12 years old loved it. There is a corner for children which is interactive. Huge dinosauruses and earthquake simulation, real snakes and other things make this place worth visiting!

Really interesting place for kids under 16, especially the interactive section which is a scaled down version I guess of the Science Museum in London

Nice museum. You learn a lot and there are good activities for kids. Make sure to take a tour into the kids area (lowest floor) and the side rooms with interactive learning. Lots of anmals and dinosaurs. Nice for kids and adults. If you know english the cinema is interesting.

Perfect place for children and education. It hosts a lot of different species of both animals and dinosaurs that some of them even move!. All in all a time well spent
