  • If you have kids - go there. If you don’t - still go there! For only €5 each there is lots to see. Huge range of cool stuffed animals and lots to learn about the world we live in. Enjoy :)

  • Nice and well kept museum. Went with a 3 year old and they liked it though I think it’s more interesting for older kids (7+). Some things to consider; - no touching the exhibits (hard to control with small kids) - closest parking area quite small this usually full and therefore have to park up and walk down into the valley where the building is - plan accordingly with prams etc - it’s in the historical area (Grund) so can combine it with a nice walk through there - nice restaurants and bars around the area
  • An amazing museum to have fun even with 3 y.o. child 😍 Please note that it's not allowed to touch the items, so it's better to negotiate about it with your toddler in advance 😅 We counted wolves, butterflies, t-rex teeth, etc, found some rare animals like pangolin (my son haven't seen them before) and watched a short film about asteroids (it was indeed impressive!). For sure older kids will benefit and entertain much more in this museum than 3 y.o., but even for very small kids it's fun. Museum staff is super-friendly. Thank you!
