Natural History Museum

Easily one of the best museums in the world. One of the grandest and beautiful buildings in the world. It’s so amazing that it’s a purpose built building still serving its original function. The building is covered in carving and statuary of animals and flowers. Special highlight is the plants on the celling and the monkeys crawling up the arches. But over all there is almost no world to describe its glory and beauty. Everywhere you look it’s amazing! Chocked full of things and amazing displays. Just sensational displays the very best of the best. The treasures room was superb with the UKs moon rock, a first folio page of Birds of America, and Hans Sloanes carved Nautalis shell.

Visit to the Natural History Museum was truly unforgettable. The museum is absolutely breathtaking, both inside and out. From the stunning architecture of the building to the world-class exhibits, every part of the experience felt extraordinary. The dinosaur gallery was a definite highlight, bringing prehistoric creatures to life in an exciting and educational way. I was also fascinated by the exhibits on earthquakes, volcanoes, gemstones, and the incredible diversity of life on Earth. The museum presents complex scientific topics in a way that is engaging, interactive, and easy to understand for visitors of all ages. What impressed me most was the sheer scale and quality of the collections. Walking through the galleries felt like taking a journey through millions of years of natural history. The displays are beautifully curated, and there is a sense of wonder around every corner. This museum is much more than a place to learn facts; it is an inspiring experience that deepens your appreciation for the natural world. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. It is a place that leaves a lasting impression and creates memories long after your visit has ended.

The Natural History Museum is one of London's best museums for visitors of all ages. The impressive building and magnificent entrance hall make a great first impression. Inside, you'll find everything from dinosaur skeletons and precious minerals to exhibitions about volcanoes, earthquakes, and the natural world. The museum is quite large, so it's easy to spend several hours exploring. My favorite section was the galleries dedicated to gemstones, minerals, and elements. Seeing the wide variety of crystals, precious stones, meteorites, and mineral specimens up close was fascinating. If you're interested in geology or minerals, I highly recommend spending extra time in this part of the museum. You'll also find souvenir medallion vending machines inside the museum, where you can purchase pressed collectible medallions with different designs. They make a nice keepsake from your visit. Admission is free, but it can get very busy, especially on weekends and during school holidays. If you prefer a quieter visit, I recommend arriving early in the morning. The museum shop is also worth visiting, offering a great selection of books, educational items, and souvenirs for both children and adults. It's definitely a place worth adding to your London itinerary.

Beautiful building, amazing things to look at and learn about inside from dinosaurs to butterflies, rocks to gemstones, nature and natural world at its very best. Wonderful outdoor area too. Although the museum is free to visit I recommend booking your tickets on line as you can skip the queues, which can be rather long at times, especially weekends. There is a very good cafe, very reasonably priced within the museum. I did think for such a big building they could do with a few more toilets, at times we had to queue. But having said that they were clean and well maintained. Also amenities for disabled. There is a very nice shop, plenty of lovely gifts. Highly recommend a visit to the NHM, I first went with my junior school and gave loved the place ever since.

For anyone that enjoys to see a bit of the animal world, fossils, rocks and dinosaurs...it's definitely worth the go. They have an extensive range of species to see, fascinating collection. It's family friendly, with facilities to have a short break. Def check the shop, there's a few nice things to pick up : ) Small advice when planning your trip: Even though it's free to enter, make sure you buy the free tickets online...as there are two ques outside the museum. The one for those having tickets ( takes 2 seconds to scan - no wait time ) and the very long one ( where you are getting a ticket at the desk - a very, very long que - must avoid )
