I recently visited the Natural History Museum with my three year old nephew and we both loved it. My nephew thought the dinosaur exhibition was great, if a bit scary at times, and loved looking at all the different animals.

The museum has moved on a long way form the days when it used to obtain animals and have them stuffed, although it does not shy away from admitting that it did used to do that - the animals are still there for people to see. But, as would be expected, it has moved forward a long way and now has a far more ethical approach in documenting the natural world.

I t can get incredibly busy so unless you need to go there during school holidays or at peak times at weekends, these are probably best avoided. They could also do with dusting the blue whale!]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:10:45 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/176p671573388710 RR123 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/147om8

The natural history museum is worth a visit for the prospect of seeing the giant squid alone, but there are other things to excite you there too. This includes the life sized blue whale.
The best thing about it is the way it is all laid out, which makes it easier for you to wander about and see the things you are most interested in.
The dinosaurs are a must do, but there is so much more to see. Like learning about volcanoes and earth quakes. The visions of earth section is great, you get to travel through the earth on an escalator, look at a massive infinity set of screens showing the earth, its really well done.
It is free to get in and this makes it even better.]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:42:41 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/147om81162933351 watermelon90 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/175n68

The natural history museum in kensington on cromwell road is wonderful from start to finish. The exterior of the building if full of the most amazing carvings of exotic animals and birds and the entrance hall houses the huge and imposing diplodocus skeleton. The kids will love it and so will adults. It is busy though so be prepared for this, but it is free, so money saved on the entrance fee can go towards a snack in the cafe, or for some thing in the gift shop. If you do want to see the dinosaur section in full then you do pay a little for that now, but it is worth it.]]> Sun, 21 Sep 2008 21:36:53 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/175n68642526427 clubby2 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m6le8

Like the Science Museum, admission is also free. There is so much to see here! I enjoyed it very, very much and it definitely makes an interesting and expensive day trip especially if you are in London anyway. I have only been once, but I definitely recall it being very impressive inside. There was a very well preserved full scale dinosaur on show when we entered as well as impressive collections. One of the most memorable things I saw there was a section of a VERY large tree, which had been very well preserved as was older than the Islamic religion. You can spend hours looking at everything in this museum and not get bored. For the younger generation, this might not be so, but it's definitely an opportunity for them to learn more about the planet they live on.]]> Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:42:58 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m6le8393222182 PinkPink 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1j7le7

The natural history museum is fab, all our kids love it and spend many happy hours there all for free. The gallaries are very interesting and the hands on exhibitions are great too. The dinosaur section used to be free but now a small entrance fee does apply if you want to see it all and most kids are not happy till they do. There is a cafe so you can sit and relax over a much needed cup of tea before heading off again to check out all the cool stuff, you should go and spend the day here it is well worth a trip, even the outside of the building is interesting and very beautiful.]]> Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:40:25 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1j7le792110617 gillygilly 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1f5lg7

What a fabulous place! I've been there several times with my children, and each time I have to tear them away.

I find the building itself very impressive. The exhibits are amazing, and there is always something new to see. The educational room in the basement is fantastic, full of hands-on exhibits for the children to explore, and very helpful staff to guide the children. We've also had very good experiences with staff elsewhere. (I learnt how to tell the difference between a moth and butterfly, for example.)

The only thing is, it's heaving in school holidays and at weekends.]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:25:32 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1f5lg7843296569 DorisH 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1j9j28

I have visited the Natural History Museum a number of times since the first visit with primary school.

It is worth a visit just for the dinosaur exhibits alone - my favourite diplodocus is still present - and has much more on show than those.

There is a lot of pleasure to be had out of a trip and you can learn many interesting facts although it can be a lot to take in. There are many information panels to read along the way which older visitors can absorb better but younger ones can also have fun.

Entry is free which is an added bonus.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:20:01 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1j9j28274316820 Spikey_Spooney 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m7i48

The natural History Museum is an interesting experience for all ages.

The highlight of the museum is that the main part of it, excluding special exhibitions or attractions, is free and open to all.

People of all ages can learn about the world around them and you will all ocme home having learnt a great deal.

The dinosaur exhibit is very popular with the children, wtih the electronic dinosaur getting a reaction of both joy and fear, depedant on the age group.

Some of the exhibits could be more modern but overall the museum is fun, enjoyable and educational.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:38:46 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m7i481006200230 stitch 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/144ho9

We took our 7 year old to the natural history museum and she enjoyed the outing there. We also had an amazing time comparing sizes of different animals. It was mind boggling to see the size of a blue whale. The dinosaur display was very exciting for us adults but the moving Tyranosaurus Rex scared our daughter. However, make no mistake, the display is very life-like with the sounds and moving displays. Also, this is a free-entry museum and during the current credit crunch climate, it is a day out for free with educational benefits and fun at the same time.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:37:45 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/144ho9103792865 keshnik 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/134hy8

Not only does the building itself look intriguing from the outside but the displays inside are brilliant. You wonâ¬"t miss the life size creatures, especially the dinosaur that greets you at the entrance, and the wonderful memoirs you can buy at the shop. There are interesting facts for the adults and interactive pieces for the kids so everyone is entertained. Seriously, I learn something new every time I go there. The only bad thing could be the number of people that visit, tourists in the summer and school children during term time, but donâ¬"t let that put you off as it can sometimes add to the atmosphere. The museum is easy to find from the station as there are signposts. And best of all, most of the collections are free to view so a cheap day out. I highly recommend this museum.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:19:17 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/134hy81590197102 yoleey2k fun education museum 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/115hf8

The Natural history museum is so memorable everyone remembers the huge dinosaur at entrance to the museum, dippy in the central hall. The museum is situated opposite the science museum on exhibition road and near south Kensington station. The museum is home to a huge giant squid and several animatronics dinosaurs (that kids will love). In the winter it is possible to ice skate outside the museum and there is also a Christmas market during the festive season. The architure of the building is grand and neo-gothical and very imposing and Victorian. The earth galleries in an extension to the original building are also well worth a visit.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 02:36:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/115hf836244645 carumbasra 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/118g47

The Natural History Museum is another great museum in South Kensington (along with the Science museum and the Victoria and Albert), a treat for kids and adults alike. A huge number of very impressive collections, most notably the dinosaurs exhibitions, and in particular the huge diplodocus in the main hall which never ceases to impress. Thereâ¬"s also the geological museum to visit, which is also interesting. One particular annual highlight is the Wildlife Photography Competition, where the winning photographs are on display in a special exhibition, and though you do have to pay for special exhibitions like this, the majority of the museum is completely free.]]> Sun, 31 Aug 2008 23:23:56 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/118g471433859060 codam 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m7fv8

First off, the building is absolutely stunning!! And as one of the largest museums in Europe, you will not be disappointed. Easy to find from South Kensington station (or other), and right next to the Science museum and victoria and albert museum, if you want to cram it all in! But I'd advice them all seperately cos there is so much to look at. Great for kids and adults alike. Free to enter, and exhibs on a range of stuff from dinasours to other animals such as insects and mammals. Some great interactive features for children, and really interesting information for everyone alike.]]> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 12:06:34 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m7fv8403639556 oneandonly 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053
