Well kept clean and spacious. Wheel chair acess though out and entering with no steps . Its extremely hot inside even in November. Could do with air conditioning. Lots of history with lots of animals. Great for kids all ages and adults. Toilets and disabled toilets on site with a cafe which is rather expensive so I would recommend brining yours own lunch in if you are a family. 2 coffees and a cookie was approximately £15 . Over all a great experience and very educational. If you home educate your children its worth a day trip in to London to visit the museum. Hot peanuts with honey out side are delicious 😋 pre book tickets for free on line to avoid quing. Pre booked Tickets walk straight in and que jump !

The museum is completely free and displays some very valuable pieces, especially in the dinosaur section. You’ll find one of the best-preserved plesiosaurs and also one of the original archaeopteryx specimens. For children, it’s definitely fun with plenty of activities and buttons to press. The building itself is also beautiful—it alone is worth the trip. Unfortunately it is also very crowded, don’t forget to book in advance to avoid the queue.

There is so much to see and do so plan a full day for the museum If you’re into dinosaurs they have a wonderful exhibit or you can just enjoy the magnificent building that houses the museum Learn about the Earth the wonders that produces in all the stones and rocks or travel through and learn about tides to volcanoes And don’t forget to visit the area where you can learn about the DNA structure and how the team behind the scenes are working to match the DNA, eradicate disease or just carry out the research needed to ensure that no more species go extinct There is something for everyone young and old . And after all the exploring and learning stop at one of the multiple coffee shops or restaurants throughout the museum space and grab something to eat and drink . There are options to meet any eaters requirements Entrance to the museum is free but pre-book your ticket online before you go to avoid standing in long queues.

You can book a time slot ticket for free online before hand. This ensures you dont have to queue if it gets too busy. Truly a must visit Museum in London. There are so many different exhibitions that you can easily spend 3 hours here. Of course the main attraction is the Blue whale skeleton, called hope. It weighs 4.5tonnes and measures 25.2m long. This is a real blue whale skeleton and not a model! Can you imagine! There is a dinosaur exhibition and for your info, most of the bones on display are actual dinosaur bones! If you see its dated, then its real dinosaur bones. Other than that there are other paid exhibitions available throughout the museum.

Always love going to museums where ever I go to take in the local perspective. It is free entry with donation recommended, which is easy once you see what this place has to offer. This would have been one of the larger sites I have visited in my travels. It has a large variety of collections spanning several floors. I really enjoyed most of the galleries I saw, with their interactive displays that complement the static representations. We literally spent all afternoon their until close and still didn't get a chance to see the whole building. Missing out on the Darwin, and some of the green sector. From what we did see the rest of the place would be just as amazing. Since it's free entry it can definitely be a 2 day walk about. The place is large and requires a bit of sauntering. There are lots of benches and presentations that you can sit while you watch. Which is nice for those who have mobility challenges. Overall, a great visit but if you really like to hit every inch, it's a whole day visit so keep that in mind.
