An excellent free day out!

This was an excellent experience for myself and my 2 young children. The museum is free (as are all public museums now) it is as a result of the combining of the Natural History and Geology museums so there is masses of content - in fact too much for one day!

The kids really enjoyed this place but it can be hard on your feet.

A good tip would be that if you have kids over 6 there is a discovery centre in the basement, you need to book a slot when you are there but its very much hands on with microscopes, real fossils, laminated bugs and all those rare and endangered animal parts that are taken off smugglers at airports - good to see there is some educational value from it. The staff in the discovery center are really friendly and happy to explain everything to the kids.

It's free, educational and interesting for dads too - 5 stars from me.]]> Tue, 15 May 2007 16:59:49 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1m92t82020408796 london 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/185277

For the last 5 years I have without fail gone to see the Wildlife Photography Exhibition at the Natural History Museum. It is a rare yearly cultural event for me and I heartily recommend it to all my friends.

It is only on for part of the year so it is best to check out the website:
www.nhm.ac.uk/wildphoto/

Great place to escape to the animal kingdom and feel inspired to get your camera out and hit the road...

Of course there is plenty more great stuff to see in the Natural History museum, especially for kids. Indeed as a nipper one of my favourite outings was to go and see the giant blue whale (it really is giant) and all the huge reconstructed dinosaurs.

They have a giant squid preserved down in the basement. Arrange yourself a tour to go and see it. The stuff of nightmares!]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 17:39:58 +0000 /review/uk/london/cultural/1p22j8i/natural-history-museum/1a81d71874819991 Pacman 51.496552717046 -0.17329874266053
