Natural History Museum

I was looking forward to this place so much, but there was almost nothing there to hold my interest. The exhibits could have been much better - they were mostly computer-type interactive displays instead of real insects for example. In the end the only thing I could even pretend to enjoy was the animal exhibit, with the huge whale skeletons and all sizes and shapes of animals.

I absoluelty loved this museum!! I have studied many extinct animals, dug fossils of my own, and have a degree in Anthropology and this was my dream come true. Although I had to drag my husband in, he wasn't to hard to keep enterainted in this wonderful museum. The building alone is somethign to see. the inside is beautiful but the outside is breath taking!

Their fossil collection is simply fantastic and astounding! I could have been there for days and not have gotten tired of it! ( to bad we only stayed 3 hours..) I would reccomend this museum to everyone, there are even hands on things for children. I am taking my 12 year old sister to London this summer and you can bet that this will be one of our first stops! Learning Made fun again!

If you enjoy architecture, the Natural History Museum is wonderful, both inside and out. It also has a nice collection of dinosaur bones, a large animatronic T-rex, and a nice collection of stuffed or replicated animals.

The rest of the exhibits didn't stand out, and the museum caters to, and is generally overrun by children. Worth a visit if you have younger kids, want to see the architecture, or just have some time to kill since it's free.
