The kids were anxious to see the dinosaurs. Having seen a couple of Dino exhibits the expectation was high. In the end the Dino show was much poorer than other places we've been at but the museum itself was a pleasant surprise.

Animal specimens are so old and dusty!!...interactive sections very poor...a very disappointing visit

Both the interior and exterior of the museum are extraordinary, definitely a must-see. Some exhibits are wonderfully assembled (like the dinosaur exhibit! ) but others are painfully outdated (human biology exhibit). Still well worth a visit, despite the queue - especially because it's free!

I took my husband here, which on announcing we was going to a museum he gave me a blank unenthusiastic look like i had gone insane, But after we had been he was miffed that they was closing up and he couldn't stay for longer.....This place is everything under one roof it's magical, mysterious, educational exciting hands on fun for all ages, so much to take in, the exhibits are outstanding and the way they bring things to life really make it easier to understand the world we live in and what used to be without even realising your being educated, the dinosaur section is set it an elaborate part of this historic building, if you ever wanted to feel as tho you was in the movie "night at the museum" then this is the place to go, The museum is Free to visit and relies on donations from the public, but can i just stress that this is a truly magnificent building and museum and is well deserving of a generous donation i can promise you will want to visit again and again and will want to tell everyone what you saw and learnt on your visit.
