We had an amazing time exploring. It was busy but to be expected. We paid for the titanosaur exhibition, which was incredible to see. Recommend you pay the extra. Also book your tickets before entry, entry is free and it saves you queuing!

Beautiful museum with lots of treasures from around the world. It's definitely a family-friendly place. We went during half term, the tunnel from Kensington Station was closed, not an issue. It's only a few minutes' walk from the station. It was super busy. There was a really, really long queue of people waiting. Luckily, we booked online prior to going, so we were able to walk straight in. Take a packed lunch or dine in at one of many cafes located in side the museum. The bathrooms were clean, and there was lots of staff around in case you needed help.

Super cool museum for kids and adults. Lots to see and do. Absolutely wonderfull building with al kinds of animals carved in the stone. beautiful collections on display. Great gift shops around the museum full with beautiful, fun and educational gifts. Restaurants are also food quality and good food. Will visit again!

Wow, an epic journey into Natural History in a building that makes you feel transported to high Victorian Times and how I would love to be there for that.
The building itself is a work of art and the atmosphere is busy but pleasant
I love this place, I could spend years here

Entry is free, and getting tickets (for free) in advanced online is recommended for skipping the line.
Really liked the mammals, the sea world, and the dinosaurs' exhibitions

We arrived around 10ish . A long line of people, however wen went in fairly quickly when it opened. We did not have a ticket as it was free to get in. But they do have sell tickets for different tours if the museum if you want to do that. The museum is massive, and there is so much to see. It would take a week to look at each section properly. There are 2/3 floors divided into different times of the world. They have covered everything from insects to dinosaurs to animals to fish and many more. It's a great place to spend a wet weather day with kids and people of all ages.

Brilliant free day out. So much to see and do. Usually extra activities around the museum. Currently Lego and Peppa Pig. Titanosaur exhibition something new but payable/book in advance. Other dinosaur exhibition is free. Strongly advise you book a free time slot to avoid long queues.

Possibly London's both most beautiful building and most amazing museum. Extremely well put together to cater to all ages.

It can get real busy during the summer and it gets quite hot inside (bc it's an old building), but still a really awesome experience not to miss out on

Amazing place!
I was astonishing with the fossils, quality and details.
Only one thing important, in Brazil I didn't remember that place at the Gemas in Minas Gerais. I think they was wrong about the place.

Amazing day at the Museum!! The Titanosaur exhibition was a blast, the sheer scale is extraordinary, a place filled with interactive games, great fun for kids! Also recommend to buy tickets in advance as it can get extremely busy.

Really nice Museum, not as big as the one in New York, USA (they ar not related), but you can spend 5 or 6 hours, maybe more, well entertained, knowing and learning about a lot of things. Recommended.
