One of a class museum in its own kind. In my view it’s the best museum in London. Beautiful n amazing architecture building having a lot of rooms which holding precious info of the world about nature, gems, animals, birds n many more. Wonderful giant sculpture waiting for u in main hall as soon as u entered the building. Dinosaur section is the best one. Awesome thing is its free as other museums in London. Must visit if ur in this beautiful city. It’s not only good for adults but kids too.

What an amazing experience!! The insight to the natural world and the planet we live on, is truly inspiring. All of the staff are so friendly & approachable, only too happy to help. Any trip to London should incorporate a visit here. Highly recommended.

Really informative. Sad to see several displays have been removed. Staff wearing masks as chin warmers rather than seeing the example. Lots of out of date displays and multimedia (one informing that if the video isnt playing, the tape is rewinding!!!). Greatour broken planet exhibition. Really made you think.

We left it too late to book our time slot and 15:15 was the earliest option. My 11 year older daughter enjoyed the dinosaur exhibition. So much so that she bought a dinosaur tail to wear.The cafe is over priced and disappointing for what we pay, but it is an oasis to rest between all the walking. My daughter loved avocado, chicken and spinach sandwich, but it’s better to take your own picnic if you have time to prepare it.The shop is great. We bought so many things over the years.The gem stone section was amazing. We were chased out as the museum was closing at 18:00. Book your slot a month or more in advance to get a morning time slot to enjoy the whole experience if you are not local. See

Great experience including the Fantastic Beasts exhibition. The food is a bit pricey, as expected of a museum, bit the attractions are well worth the trip! The staff are so friendly and helpful so dont be afraid to ask for help if you get lost.You will need to visit here more than once, this place is huge! Im bringing my nieces and nephews here for a day trip next time. There is plenty of things for both adults and children to enjoy so its fun for all ages.

The museum is sensational. I recommend it a lot for children because there are a lot of stuffed animals. It has full-size animal reproductions that are very realistic. There is no age to visit this museum. The museum is very accessible for people who cannot use stairs, there are elevators for better accessibility to the exhibitions.

Theres literally tons of history from every face of the earth represented at this museum. Highly recommend visiting here if youre ever in London for the weekend. It can take a few hours to see everything if youre someone who likes to take pictures and read the descriptions. Try booking your tickets in advance, the place gets very crowded. If you can, try go earlier in the day.

Its a great Museum. Lots to see and it will keep you entertained for a few hours. And its free too in a really beautiful building.

A really fantastic place to bring the kids if you have a few spare hours. Its very well laid out and educational. The earth and volcanoes section, gems and dinosaurs and animals are very extensive. The building itself is also quite beautiful.Remember to book places online, especially at weekends and entry is free although donations welcome.

What a place!Had a fabulous time with my fiance (soon to be wife) walking around on my birthday. The amount of exhibitions and knowledge you can acquire from a place like this is astonishing.Id recommend you visit this not in one go as you will be absolutely exhausted. You should attempt to visit it in probably 3 days if you want to actually learn anything.Architecturally speaking, it is fantastic, just shows how great the buildings of old were. Being around for over 100 years and still holding all its glory, really amazes me.I cannot wait to come back more times and check the new exhibitions.

Even in these difficult times of covid it is still one of the most outstanding places to visit in London. You do not have as much time to experience everything, but the one system is great so you get to see as much as possible.

Very interesting and educational museum. The museum offers great insight into the nature and history of our world. On top of this, it highlighted issues negatively impacting our world and offered methods to fix. It was free entry, but donations were welcomed. Definitely worth a visit.

Lots of construction going on outside, not signed in the most productive way though in all honesty this would totally depend upon the direction you are coming from.The building itself as always is quite remarkable to see and explore, exhibits are all incredibly well presented and maintained. The staff were helpful and polite, through some exhibits there is a one way system in place, but given recent times this is to be expected and doesnt detract from what is a brilliant day out. Look forward to going back, as there is always something you havent seen whether it is part of an exhibition or the amazing architecture/interior design. It was clean throughout with plenty of evidence of continuous cleaning in eating/drinking areas. Hand sanitisers are easily found throughout the building. Toilets were very clean also.

Dinosaurs, rocks, skeletons, and of course a big blue whale!!An amazing day out for kids and adults alike. Lots to see, some faded and broken bits but this is an old museum!!Beautiful building and almost a museum in its own right! Stunning!Definitely book in advance, bring comfy shoes and stop regularly, not a place to rush.Id also say its a good place for kids to get used to photographing stuff too.Hope you have a fab day out... -1* as Im missing Dippy!!!

Free, with quality content, so how could you not rate this 5 stars? Large museum, only frequent visitors can do it justice really, best you can hope for in a one off day visit is a relatively quick scan through. That’s not to say you won’t enjoy it though!

What a beautiful museum the building is absolutely stunning! The collections are great, my children loved it all, every section was interesting and kept their attention. It was easy to access on the tube, there are two entrances one for the general public and one for anyone who needs ramp access (wheelchair, prams ect). The gift shop is great they have lots of crystals which were actually cheaper than eBay which was a shocker! I do recommend buying one of the maps so you can find what you are looking for easily. They have a fantastic beast exhibition on at the moment which was ridiculously overpriced 😳

This was a great walk through and the information is presented, though I felt displays could have been better. I had high expectations for a world renowned museum, but was disappointed. The natural history museum in NYC is leaps and bounds better in samples and presentation.

Absolutely love this museum. Tonnes and tonnes of information to consume and beautiful displays. Its hard to see everything in one day.

Wow, what a place. So much things to educate yourself. Good place for familys and your kids will love the museum, especially the dinasaur section. Just choose your day of visit wisely because if you go when schools are closed like me you will come across many kids and it will be crowded.Not the best option if you are travelling alone.Its free to visit but you need to book in advanced your time slot.

Natural History Museum is one of the best identity of London.. Every feature takes us back into many centuries before and we can witness the preserved history.I was never aware of this until my friend told about this a couple of days before. He could explain the dinosaur exhibition exactly of what he saw 9 years before while I was watching it. That is the level of impact it can create to anyone visiting this place.This is just a beginning for us and we would visit this place many times in a year for the learning of our kids. I would even introduce this to all my friends and even be part of the visiting along with them.My son enjoyed every moment there and he even remembered the precious visit we did in a different place while he was too young.So, I can completely see how this can be a benefit to the future generation.I also got the privilege to do a small donation as this is a free entry but we still got our role to play to preserve the environment and the future generation to be benefitted for the same.Thank you for all the hearts who had taken immense effort to preserve this nature.

Very huge museum.. you can easily spend half a day here walking through different zones. Has a in-house cafeteria and actual fun for all ages! The dinosaur section is a hit! Overall had a good time :)

One of the coolest places you could ever take a child. It was just awesome to see those giant dinosaurs skeletons. I simply pictured myself back in the days when they existed 👌

Fantastic place. I was fortunate enough to have been invited to a wedding here in the main hall. Ever since I was a child, this place has inspired me with history. I love the buildings architecture. One of the most mesmerising, inspiring and beautiful buildings in London.

Sunce its a free entry museum, i always feel very grateful because it offers quite a lot of unique, and interesting exhibitions to see and explore. Lots of interesting info to learn from about - geological things like: volcanoes, earth itself, all kinds of rocks etc. I quite recommend it this place it suits for everyone. Especially for families with little ones.

What an experience! Free up 4 hours to have enough time for whole museum, start from ground floor with giant blue whale and continue to green zone where you can see Giant Sequoia and fantastic the Vault then continue your journey to the Blue Zone where you will feel Jurassic park in Dinosaurs part! Have a quick look at orange zone specially Cocoon building and then put the rest of your time for the red zone specially human evolve! The building it self is so fascinating, take as much photos as possible which will be a great reminder of this fascinating story! Choose q sunny day since the exterior is glamorous as well!

Free entry but have to book on online and ask you donate what you can, which Is reasonable.Had a lovely time walking around looking at the different sections of the museum. This is a big area to cover and allow plenty of time to take everything. I was a bit disappointed we had to pay £13 to check in bags and couldn’t keep some items in bag even though your checking in the bag. Highly recommend it as it’s FREE

Very busy! But a very beautiful museum that you shouldn’t miss.Learn about our ancestors from long ago. And about volcanos and the earth.Very interesting!

Brilliant day out for all of the family, the kids love it

The only big let down was it was severely overcrowded. Especially during covid times, having that amount of people squeezed into a building with no masks or social distancing isnt the safest option.And the crowd meant it wasnt enjoyable.The displays were nice just a pity they didnt limit numbers

This is a fantastic museum to visit with lots of exhibits. The museum is well laid out and has lots to see for adults and kids alike. The fact that this is something that is offered for free is fantastic.

This museum has the wow factor from the moment you step in, the main hall with the whale suspended above is stunning, kept me and my 9 year old son entertained and engaged for hours.

So much to see!! The kids had to do so much walking bless them! But they absolutely loved looking around - the dinsoaur exhibit was a firm favourite as were the interactive sections. We re-fuelled in the cafe and took in all the beautiful stones and gems upstairs. The kids were OVER THE MOON to see Andy’s Clock from cbeebies! The museum building itself is beautiful to look at too!

One of the best museums in the world.The architecture of the building is just amazing.You need to book your tickets online if you want to visit and if you want to visit on the weekends you might have to wait some weeks.Once you do make it inside, the wait will not be disappointing at all.As you enter you can see the skeleton on the blue whale. The best thing is it has natural light coming in from the top which gives you good quality pictures.The dinosaur gallery is really great. 🦕So much information on display.There is garden where your kids can explore different microorganisms.Earthquakes and volcanoes section displays different places they are located and taken place.Also a simulation of an earthquake that happened in the past is not one to miss.

Very interesting, great little day out

As always the natural history museum was fascinating. I booked tickets online a month in advance as we went during the summer holidays. I booked for when it opened which was perfect as we managed to see quite alot before it got to busy. However by 11.30 it was packed. We rushed through the Dinosaur area as it was just so busy. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back soon.

A place to me with family, very much children friendly but an adult can enjoy as much as. Recommend

Great day trip out for friends, families even colleagues. A chance to be excited kids like you used to be :) hand sanitizer round the building had run out by 1 oclock and barely anyone was wearing a face mask when recommended.

A great museum thats perfect for everyone - the solo traveller, couples, families of all ages. Theres enough here to keep everyone entertained, including a nice wee cafe.The architecture alone is stunning. And its own history, particularly the incidents and issues that led up to the 1880 building, is fascinating.But the specimens and exhibits are captivating.Entry is free, so you can pop in for 20 minutes or spend half a day here.Make sure you tip your hat to the Alfred Russell Wallace plaque - a very underrated person.

Well, it’s not as I imagined it to be (I expected it to be bigger with a bigger collection). They have a good collection of stones and minerals. Information were displayed in a convenient way.

A must-see, inside you can find a lot of interesting stuff about dinosaurs, animals, the earth and the moon, even a collection of all the precious rocks ordered by color.The downside its the queue for the entrance infinite, I asked the guards for the best time, and they actually suggested me a time when the queue was short and quick.Visited in December 2019

Absolutely fantastic, could have easily spent the whole day! My 3yo Absolutely loved all the dinosaurs and blue whales, wasnt a boring part of the museum for him what so ever

A lot bigger&more to see than we expected. Hearing the children naming all the different dinasaurs&the parents agreeing, was amusing! Great way to spend a day.

The architecture of this building is breathtaking! I felt very small inside this huge museum, with an enormous exhibit. You can see everything in here, from bone structure, to animals, stones, etc... Even thought there were some parts of the exhibit that I didn’t like so much, there is something for everyone, and you can’t miss this place if you visit London, because it’s nothing like you’ve ever seen before. I visited it without a guide, but I’m sure it would be much more interesting if you get one.

A must visit place when in London. lots of artefacts maintained. Entry is free of costThe Natural History Museum in London is a natural history museum that exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history. It is one of three major museums on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, the others being the Science Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Natural History Museums main frontage, however, is on Cromwell Road.

Informative. Alot of things to experience. Deep explanations for reading and understanding. Highly recommended.

Awesome!.Really a great place to be. Educational and entertaining.😉Your mind will be overwhelmed with facts while feeding your eyes with spectacular visuals. From moving dinosaurs, to evolution,life size animals and gemstones. Feels like you are inside a book.😁

Fantastic place to visit and so much to see youll need more than a day to take it all in! The architecture of the building alone is enough to blow your mind, let alone the awe inspiring exhibits inside! If visiting London this is a must!

DINOSAURS!!!!! This is why we go to natural history museums. And this one has loads and loads of them!!! They even got an animated huge T-REX!Stand in awe in front of the skeletons of these majestic creatures who once ruled the earth.Of course, the museum offers more than dinosaurs. It has a geology section where you can learn about the history of Earth: volcanos, minerals, and how natural disasters shaped our continents. Dont forget to stand in the Kobe laboratory to experience a simulated earthquake.If you are an anthropology aficionado, this is the perfect place to learn about our evolutionary history.Overall, the Natural History Museum is a must, especially if youre visiting with kids who will have a phenomenal time.

Brilliant place, sooo much for the kids to do and interact with. We have had a great day out here.Yes its free, but please make a donation.

A lot to see and learn. Museums in summer holidays can get very very busy! Don’t expect social distancing and keeping the distance. Enjoyable anyways.

Loved it! Ive always wanted to visit, it didnt disappoint! ❤️

It’s quite good for the kids. Very nice replicas plus free entry. What can I ask for?

Great place to learn about Natural history for all ages...lifts can take you to all levels...lots to learn and interact with....staff knowledgeable friendly and passionate about what they do....recommend tour guide...family friendly place for kids as well.

My son’s phone got stolen this afternoon there. We made a call to his number the second we found it lost but very disappointed the phone had been switched off! We charged it to full before we set off from home. We headed to the information centre by the entrance, but could got no help from anybody, only being offered an Email.They didn’t even ask about my number just in case somebody found it and can contact us. One more thing, the staff at the entrance did not check the pre-booked tickets, neither any security job was done.They did not inspect the bag back, which really scared me. Cannot think any ‘only if’…. So please take great care of your belongs any moment any corner in the museum for its so dark and so loose.

Amazing place to learn about our history. Good day out for the kids, a few shops and somewhere to eat. Although you can bring a picnic and sit outside in the green zone before the wildlife garden. Free entry just a donation asked for. I paid £5

We arrived without pre-booked tickets but only waited 15mins to get in. Nostalgic experience from childhood and still lived up to the wonderful experiences.Easy to navigate with lots of child friendly and engaging sections. Cafe was great and toilets were easily accessible.

You can find a lot of information about all sorts from earthquakes and volcanoes to dinosaurs and reptiles - a great day out with the family! all exhibits were well put together and didn’t disappoint!!

Some displays are now rather old and in need of refreshing. However, the interactive displays are great and my boys thoroughly enjoyed the day. Looking forward tobwhen Dippy returns and The Human Body section reopens.

A really fantastic place to visit. There’s so much to do here and to look. You need a good few hours to have a look at everything. Very impressive

Id thoroughly recommend a visit when youre in London as its such an amazing place with fantastic exhibits and educational for children too.

Staggeringly beautiful architecture. Amazingly detailed and well maintained exhibits. Lots of information for people of all ages. Trust me. Visit NOW. You will not regret it.

Amazing museum. If youre in London then you must visit the NHM.

Hands down one of the best places to visit in London

Lovely Museum. I love being there. I believe that this is one of the most beautiful museums I have ever seen. I recommend everyone to visit. In addition, the museum building is extraordinary. A bit like a fairy tale.

Need all day to do natural history museum and Victoria and Albert museum thats just across the road....amazing

Brilliant day out with the kids, so much excitement and joy. Lots to see and all kids friendly. Will visit again for sure.

Fabulous visit and so much to see. Will need to visit again on my next trip.

I love this place. Its amazing experience for all the members of the family.

Great exhibition but the earthquake simulator requires to level up a lot.

Its so good that it is free. We went on a Monday and it wasnt to busy but certainly not empty. Take comfy shoes as there is so much walking to do. We took our 4 year old and he loved it especially the dinasours. So much to see and do!

Changed my view on life for the better! I recommend if you want to know more about our planet and about who we are as humans!

Perfect day out for the family. Plenty to do and see for all ages and very educational. Couldnt recommend it more.

LOVE this place! Try to get up at least 3 or 4 times a year with my son - hes a big fan of the dinosaur section! There is SO much more to see though - you can spend your whole day in the museum, and still you wont have seen everything it has to offer. If I had to find a negative, it would be that some of the exhibits are looking a little old - Im talking about the interactive exhibits here, the technology for some of which is now crying out to be updated and, sadly, is often on the blink. Still absolutely LOADS of good stuff to see though, and while I genuinely miss seeing Dippy the Dino in the main foyer area, the whale skeleton does look pretty impressive when viewed from the right perspective!

Interesting and long exursion here.

I know its a big draw and that it will always be busy but today was something else. The place was jam packed. I think there may have been some dinosaurs and other animals but I cant confirm as I spent my afternoon shuffling around desperately keeping hold of my kids. Had they slipped away for even a second Id have lost them in the scrum.For those of you with covid concerns Id recommend staying away. Despite the tickets saying that face coverings were encouraged Id say that less than 10% of people were wearing them. Most frustratingly was the fact that all bar 1 of the gel dispensers was empty.If today is indicative of the reduced capacity then I really cant imagine how busy it will be when things return to normal.Toilets were clean, cafe reasonably priced. Harry Potter exhibition interesting.

Fantastic museum. Have always enjoyed every visit from a child and now in my fifties Have gone back many many times. Very fortunate to have got a chance to work there for a few weeks and saw some if the exhibits not on display to the public. It has changed a lot over the years and have to admit liked the way museums used to present exhibits, personally feel it has been dumbed down a bit to appeal to a wider audience. Used to like it when the dinosaur skeleton was in the main hall but suppose more apt now and free? Has been used in so many films that I know of in the last 50 years, sometimes as itself, sometimes masquerading as other places. Always something new to see and very educational. A great day out, would highly recommend.

Doesnt matter what age you are, youll love it here. Its a surreal experience seeing dinosaurs skeletons tower over you, asteroids and star dust in glass cabinets dating billions of years ago and extinct wildlife exhibits. Theresinformation plaques dotted around so you can take a leisurely stroll at your own pace with seats dotted around.There is a cafe but its very busy, you will also need tickets in advance (free).

This place never ceases to amaze me! I can come back here again and again and I always discover something new to explore 🤗 this place is great for ALL ages...whether youre 3 or 93 🙌🏽👌🏼👍🏼

So much to look at and explore. Staff are helpful polite. Was extremely crowded as its half term. I would strongly recommend you book tickets in advance because they are limited to how many people are allowed in the building. I didnt know this @ the time and was refused entry. I waited patiently and then they let people back in towards the end of the day. Well worth the visit though. Kids loved it

Fantastic too much to see in just one day. Would definitely recommend going. The kids loved it. I would also recommend the just park app and tube it in to London.

Fantastic, the kids loved it and we all had a great time

What an amazing place, went with my daughter and the way they have designed the museum entices children to interact with the screens etc. It is easily a good few hours worth of entertainment. Highly recommend.

A lot of things to see in the museum. One of the better NHS museums around.

One of the best museums ive been in my life!The place is huge and the children were really engaged all the time.Great for a day out with the kids.

A fun day out? Sure. Needlessly expensive? Definitely. Redeemed by the friendly and patient staff and the changing exhibits

What a wonderful museum very rich with all kind of artifact abs specimens and very diverse again it’s free and well organizedHighly recommended

Always coming when ever I can with my son, as it is really wonderful place educational interesting relaxing. Due to COVID-19 need to book your visit

I absolutely hate the fact of being completely lost in this place and all that just because they got poor guidance. At one point weve been literally circling around the same stuff like headless chickens, because there wasnt any marks or any signs where to go next. Poor. We visited their local buffet as well...thank u very much, never again. Think first about what it means to u guys,, customer service or,, customer experience. By being rude and slow u will just hardly achieve any good results. Another thing, dont come with baby or with toddler. They are not welcome here. My son been hungry, so I was feeding him with snack while walking, until Ive been stopped by one staff member and been told to leave premises because food is not allowed. Its understandable if food is not allowed, however I think small kids and babies should be exception, but the way Ive been approached, its just huge disrespect. She could say to me to go and sit in buffet or in restricted area where I can feed my baby, not to shout at me like animal to leave. We left anyway, this experience was absolutely nothing what I would like to repeat. Sort out your staff members attitude before u are asking for donations.

Lovely place and highly educative. You can easily spend few days inside if youre a museum lover. Red zone is a must explaining volcanoes and earthquakes, earths crust, human evolution should not be missed. Better to give the dinosaur exhibit a miss if busy. Wildlife garden is a definite miss.The new block - Darwin Centres Cocoon, where there were more innovative and technologically advanced exhibits, was surprisingly quiet.

Sea of artifacts from the past and present from all around the world. You would need days to check it all in detail. Great place to bring curious minds to feed.

The NHM is such an amazing experience for everyone, especially families with kids! The place offers so much to see and learn that its impossible to get everything covered in a single visit. The dinosaur area is always the busiest and they did such a good job making it a one way route to all kinds of bones, skulls, information and a massive mechanical moving T-Rex that makes the kids go crazy! The mammals are also very cool, dont miss them! Theres also a very scenic escalator that takes you to the center of Earth and you get to the volcanos and earthquakes exhibition too. Some areas were not open still and it might be due to COVID restrictions, but that doesnt make the museum less interesting. See

Very good to visit, with kids specially. They love it.

I was amazed seeing historical science frozen in time. From a myriad of cherished rare species to scribbles and notes of well read famous scientists and biologists on display for all to get a glimpse into their mind at that time.I was overwhelmed in aww of the magnificent architectural structure of the museum.Its one to visit regularly, as you cant take it all in just one visit.It can get busy during the winter and summer holiday, but still a limited number of guests are allowed in at a time. This give rise to long lines outside the museum. The wait time can be as early as 30mins or less depending on the number of guests arriving that day.I suggest you plan your visit quite early in the morning from 9am, I am not sure the exact time the museum opens it doors on a daily. But, been early means no wait times.It is worth it...There are no entrance fees, but you can buy lots of wonderful souvenirs at the gift shop.You have no worries coming in with kids and having to carry your jackets all by hand as they have very large individual lockers to hold your belongings. The rest room is not far from the locker keep.There are coffee stalls in, so you have no worries filling up.

Entry is free. Next door to science museum and Victoria Albert Museum. Kids enjoyed this one the most. Lots to see and explore.

Great day out for the children and adults ! A free entry or you can donate some money upon entry. Spent a few hours there!

I love that so many great museums are free in London, including this one! There is more here than you can see on one visit. My 2 year old daughter loved the diagnosis and the mineral exhibits. Although the animatronic T-Rex was a bit to much for here. The building itself is so amazing. Perfect place to be even on a rainy day.

Absolutely stunning building with more things in side that you can imagine. The kids loved it, as did the adults. Wonderful place. Will definitely visit again

You can spend all day in this wonderful museum. Highly recommend for Skelton fans and youngsters who are curious about Dinosaur 🦕 The building design itself is amazing

A great London attraction, where you can see the wonders of the natural world for free! But do support the museum with a donation if you can afford to!Some breathtaking exhibits and rare gems to be seen in the vaults!Worth a trip, in you heading to London for sight seeing!

Absolutely fascinating, a brilliant day out for families, lots of interactive exhibits to keep everyone happy and who doesnt love dinosaurs?
