We had so much fun! I would definitely recommend this adventure. We would do this tour again hands down.
Unreal waste of money. I’ve given this two stars not one because there’s a good focus on kid’s education there with lots of classrooms on the lower floors but as a general visitor it doesn’t lay a finger on the Natural History Museum in London. $90 admission for a family of 4 plus $30 parking even though we parked for less than 2 hours. The displays have very few authentic artefacts of any kind, it’s mainly pictures or plastic models and then there’s loads of extra pay for exhibitions. Easily the worst case of American capitalism we saw on our trip. Turning history into a money making scam.
So much to see, clean, spacious, lots of interactive stuff for kids without being dumbed down/boring for adults. Great gift shop. Parking is overpriced, but otherwise an excellent facility. The dinosaurs may be mostly models, but it’s a highlight - be sure to look for the funny humanoid skeletons in unexpected poses and places, too.
Great discount I paid like 37$ for both tickets compared to if I would’ve brought it from the official website of the museum it would’ve been 50$ not including taxes so it was worth it and it was quick and easy to navigate
Was a very nice museum. We needed more time to visit it all
The experience was great but I didn’t like that you all charged me more than the actual price of I would have just purchased at the box office so I won’t use your service again and I will not recommend you all to anyone and I will tell people that you all charge more
Impressive! From dinosaur fossils to interactive demos on how things worked, it was a lot to see and do. Use parking lot C for free 3hr parking. It’s only a 5-10 min walk to the museum.
Great experience for all ages! Special treat for fossil geeks like me! Really well maintained and some nice little treasures hidden in tucked away areas. Highly recommend!
It is a huge 4 story museum with really nice historical artifacts. There will be a lot of kids so be prepared if you are trying to go there on a date. The only thing I did not like was the fact that you have to pay admissions again for certain exhibits that you want to check out that are inside of the museum after you purchase the general admissions one.
Excellent dinosaur exhibition. Eygptian exhibituon excellent. Talk on embalming brilliant insightful.
