Lots of history and interesting artifacts in the museum.
The snake museum has snakes (surprisingly) but also tropical fish lizards and crocodiles. Not expensive either. Although I found walking to it a bit weird as it was along a motorway slip road with no path but don’t they that put you off

Its such a good place to relax your mind by the attractive goodies in the museum.history is abundantly present and good fresh air is key.the entrance fee for citizens is 200 and 1000 for foreigners.

It is a very good place to learn about both the history of Kenya and its beautiful nature. Also you'll have an idea about the horrors of colonisation. There's a snake farm and a small aquarium inside and I strongly suggest you buy the combined ticket for all of them as it's way cheaper than buying 3 separate tickets. Also the other two are not so big so it's best to combine all 3 in a single visit. There's a restaurant but it's really expensive and overall the area is really beautiful. Definitely worth a visit.

Very much worth a visit for a intriguing insight into a diverse range of historical and cultural topics across Kenyan history - make sure you take a guide for that extra level of depth!

The best place to be. First, it's breathtaking, cool and calm place. Secondly, for those who like to remind themselves of the past or those who want to learn about the past since they were not there, then this is the exact right place to be.

It was sprendid. The effort to maintain almost everything made the trip enjoyable.
The snake park could do better.

It's not a big museum. However, remains of some early human beings are interesting. Very good for students of anthropology. Also,the collection of birds here is one of the best in the world.

The National museum is anice place to visit. You learn alot. There is also snake park and botanical gardens.
We did a picnic after walking around the museum. You need to register on e-citizen if you are a resident to receive tickets. All in all it is an enjoyable place full of knowledge and amazing things.

It's nice to be back to the museum... 1000s of birds varieties.its also nice they have Sudan, the rhino preserved for history.

Just ensure you have eCitizen access for payment purposes.

The place is rich in history and is the 'graveyard of fossils'.
Easily accessible via public and private means.
A must visit if you are in the city.

I wasn't sure how good an experience the museum would be. But I really liked it. Especially because we got a free guide to take us around and explain to us the animal, humankind, and Kenyan history. I learned a lot about Kenya during this museum visit. We tipped the guide for his volunteer service.
