We really enjoyed our visit to the Museum. There are so many things to see that it took us 3 hours to roam the whole place. Each section is interactive which is great for both kids and adults and so much space to walk around. There are also different translations to read and the exhibitions are well-decorated and tidy. Pros: • Wheelchair friendly • Toilettes are nearby • Lockers and wardrobe for ...

We visited the museum on the first Wednesday of the month, which was free. The dinosaur exhibition was an amazing experience, I was just speechless...

The Museum is outstanding with so many categories of animals with Dinosaurs as the highlight of it. They are huge and so well preserved! And its just not only animals.

Kids will love it.
