Simply magnificent. Both the works on display and the building itself—we were blown away by how sublime the architecture is. The Jurassic aquatic exhibit was also worth the trip.

For us, the Natural History Museum has undoubtedly been the best, especially since I have a 17-year-old son who had a great time, which can be a bit difficult at that age. The staff were very attentive, and entry to the museum was quick with the ticket, which was a big plus. The food areas were very well distributed throughout the premises, and most importantly, we learned about the past. The negative part, and something you need to fix, is that we chose the guided tour option for the museum and it was only available in English. In my case, only my son understood it, but my wife and I did not. It would be great if, in the future, this could be offered in other languages, and if you could state on the website which languages are available.

Every aspect of Janet's tour was excellent. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the NHM to engage with your company as it set the foundation of a wonderful day out.

The representative was very reassuring, and even in the heat from the sun, her passion to her remit was contagious. She was professional but also approachable.

Huge, incredibliy diverse and fascinating museum! You could spend two days there. And since it´s free, it´s unfortunatly also very crowded and, without air conditioning, on hot days a bit stuffy. But we would definitely visit it again!

I was surprised at how many people were there, on a Wednesday. Beautiful buildings & garden. I loved the large displays, tile floors and detailed descriptions.
