Natural History Museum (London)

The Natural History Museum, situated in Kensington, London, is well worth a visit, and perhaps on more than one occasion. It offers free entry and more than a days worth of entertainment in one of the most beautiful buildings in central London. It is open seven days a week, 10.00am - 5.50pm. It houses an extensive collection of native and international species, presented in a factual and interesting way, I think even to those who don't have an immediate interest in natural history. The museum is probably most famous for it's collection of dinosaur skeletons, and the central atrium displays a real diplodocus skeleton, which is just fantastic close up and I am ...  Read the complete review

I recently visited the Natural History Museum on Cromwell Road in London and I'd like to start the review by telling the reader to gnore the entrance prices in the little overview Dooyoo have given for this attraction, I can assure you that entry to the Museum is free although they do have special exhibitions from time to time and these cost to enter. You also have to pay to enter the "Butterfly Garden" which I believe is a newer attraction at the Museum. Best way to get there is by tube. Take the underground to south Kensington station where you will be directed to a subway (the walking kind). This subway is extremely long and perhaps the biggest ...  Read the complete review

When going to London for a visit you've got to go to the Natural History Museum, it's the law. Well maybe not law, but you'd be silly not to when it's free and a great resource. You go into this building and are now frisked by security making sure you're not a terrorist I'd imagine. When you get in though what a place, first off there is a full dinosaur skeleton in the main entrance and a great architectural marvel to look at. There is so much to do it is easy to spend all day in there looking at all the exhibits. There is the usual stuff you'd expect like dinosaur bones and dead animal but there are a lot of general science bits in there as well ...  Read the complete review

We visited the Natural History Museum on Saturday with our three children, aged 7, 4, and 15 months. We were exhausted by the end of the day but they had a great time. ---Getting There--- South Kensington underground station is the closest but doesn't have step-free access. So dh carried the pram and held onto one child while I carried the baby and held onto the other child, up two long escalators. Then there are two quite long flights of steps to be negotiated too. Once you get outside you should turn left to enter the museum through the entrance with a lift. Sadly I didn't know that, and we turned right to the main entrance. There is a short flight of ...  Read the complete review

The Natural History Museum is located on Cromwell Road in London and is near to the South Kensington tube station. We visited the museum via the tube station and there is an underground subway which takes you almost to the museum and then you only have a 2 minute walk to the door. Which was great for us as the day we visited it was pouring with rain. The same subway also takes you right into the V&A museum and to the Science Museum too. If you want to travel by bus the buses that stop near by are the 14, 49, 70, 74, 345, 360, 414 and C1. There isn't much car parking nearby so they advise you not to come by car. Admission to the museum is ...  Read the complete review
