Wiele eksponatów, super ekspozycja, ryby i pająki. W szczególności staranne plansze z owadami.

Bilety po 20-30 zł, eksponaty ciekawe, od skał i minerałów, przez historię człowieka, po organizmy żywe. Dzieciom 6 i 15 lat podobało się, mi również.

Bardzo bogate muzeum, choć bilety stosunkowo drogie, to uważamy, że warto. Duża różnorodność wystaw, więc w zakresie przyrody każdy znajdzie swój ulubiony element. Zwiedzanie samodzielne, w związku z czym można samemu zadecydować jak dużo czasu i uwagi poświęcić poszczególnym wystawom (w naszym wypadku utknąć na dłużej przy kamieniach, ale zdecydowanym krokiem ominąć część z pająkami). A nosorożec włochaty naprawdę wow - robi wrażenie, nie spodziewaliśmy się, że aż tak bardzo. Polecamy dla każdego wieku i każdego obszaru (wewnątrzprzyrodniczego) zainteresowań
